Spyder Stealer - Beware

[M2Wild]

Sounds like an alarm might have scared them off if one was installed. I'm looking into that option myself.

I'm going the alarm route. Too many times have I found signs of or seen mischief around my spyder. The latest was coming out of home depot to find some teens gathered around it with one standing on the seat.

How 'bout a prox alarm linked to an ejecto seato That'll teach dat mofo a lesson

Hi..... agree with most that it is likely someone looking for a fast buck. I'd be prone to check local pawn shops that are fairly close by. Sorry for your loss.:gaah:

When my dad was a boy, he and his brother rigged up a Model T coil to an old man's car door handle, while the man was in a local store. When the senior citizen came out and touched the handle, he passed out cold. My dad and uncle figured they had killed the old coot, and ran five miles home, where they hid under the bed. My grandfather walked them back to town to face the music, where they had to apologize to the now recovered, and mad as heck, victim. They never tried that stunt again.

You never know the results of a shock. What if the person that received it had a pacemaker? Electric shock alarms would certainly be discouraging, but in this litigous age, would likely do more harm to you than to the thief.

I used to do that with condensors from the ignition points on cars. When I was stationed in Delaware the kids in base housing would mess with the cars. I'd charge one then tape it underneath the car door handle, little boogers didn't mess with it too much after that. :yikes:
