So a question I am looking at upgrading my security this year , and have contacted a few company’s but OMG it’s a minefield .
So looking at a Alarm , immobiliser & Tracker .
Best quote so far is £650 & £9.99 a month for the tracker but when I asked what system it was like what they have on the shelf .?
Great answer that was as it’s like shopping in lidi to Waitrose really ( sorry Paul ) I never been in a lidi so hard to judge .
With out giving to much away what do you guys use .
Andrew I can’t afford a security officer & 4 trained Dogs with sniper towers each corner
Maybe not the answer you want or that helpful, but personally I would use a disklok and or wheelclamp and possibly a garage door device too, all good visual deterrents
I have the garage alarmed and use my steering lock with a immobiliser was just wanting some more for when I am out or on the driveway .
Peter I sleep in the shed as it is

I'd agree with Andy - the only way to get a disklok off is either with the key or an angle grinder!
A wise man once said... "you can never have too many capris - buy another"
It's me, I'm the wise man.

I agree , just was looking for that bit more but if they want it they will have it …
Sad but true JM, just make it as awkward as possible!
If there were more police and tougher sentences then it would not make it easy for them , I give it a few more years and we will end up like the USA with a gun in the glove box to keep safe

Rozzers are too busy tackling hate crime online!
Chance of catching theiving scum is slim and no real punishment, just give you a crime number for your insuerance. Pile of
A few years ago, just after I bought my Capri and was deciding which forum to join, this one or the inferior one, I chose this forum as the members here seemed so much more friendly and helpful. It seems times have changed.

Stevemarl had a gang of youths armed with fireworks guarding his Capri.

Yeah, but they all went off.
Given the circumstances, those are disgraceful comments.
Should we have been supporting our friend, and respected forum member, who had recently experienced a harrowing situation, or should we have been making cheap jibes?

I was being equally flippant for 5 years before you joined. It appears your due diligence may have missed me.
Aw well ,if we are get all formal about it maybe we should have a vote ...............so whats it to be lads , cheap jibes or friendly support ?
yeah , and anyhow we can (and do) offer friendly support AND can still have a bit of a pisstake ( Im doin it to you now ) .
Sometimes I talk to myself ... and we both have a good laugh

This forum has always been compared to a friday night down the pub. Having a laugh and a joke and ribbing each other is part of the fun. We all go through it. My queries often degenerate into mickey taking, without me getting the info I need
What you have to remember is that nothing actually happened to his Capri. Some kids just let off fireworks on fireworks night. With that in mind why is joking around so "disgraceful"? I could understand if something bad had happened, sure, we wouldn't joke around then. But it didn't.
Honestly, this snowflake generation
I'm the one that leaves all those shoes in the carriageway.
, yup , Friday night winding down from the weeks toil , bit of jocularity ,bit of ribbing . Funny how someone unconnected with the comments sees fit to wait some 3 weeks and then admonish us for our "disgraceful comments ".
Looks like Stevemarl has packed a shitty too, not posted since nov 9th .....just lurking . . Shame . But I gotta ask stevemarl ,seems like you spent the night in front of your cctv screen working yourself up into a stressed out state.....did it do you any good ?

To be fair mate, not everyone has the same sense of humour. The amount of times I nearly wound up getting punched after I left the RAF as civvies didn't see the joke!
Oh and Major Tom told me I should never pull your leg either?
your not punny
