there is a little firm in london at present that sit by a "chosen car" with a box of tricks, and when the owner "blips" the remote, the villans record the signal, and duplicate it later..
my 535d is barametric, meaning you would need my fingerprint to unlock/start the car.

insurance is the way to go...its only a car at the end of the day.
i can do that with a hammer... when was the last time anyone paid any attention to an alarm going off?

uhhh...I think that's why he's asking the question here...and now...to try and find out "how strict" his states laws are BEFORE hand. Also, I don't think he asked whether you all thought it was morally correct for him to shoot someone stealing his rims...just if it was legal. Legal or not...it's HIS choice. If it's legal, he's free...if it's illegal, he's in jail. Either way there would be one less rim-stealing-scumbag in the world...and that's a good thing.

uhhh... i think that he would be pretty dumb to take what people on this forum say as gospel... "hey, I am thinking of possibly killing someone, maybe I will ask a bunch of IT guys and engineers if it is legal".

uhhh... he came on here and asked a question, then he got an answer, uhhh... It is not legal. uhhh... you dont have to be a judge to know that you cant shoot someone for steeling wheels. We dont live in Somalia. uhhh... you are being a douche to me because i gave him an answer to his question. makes sense...

Not in Texas

Just saw on the news a robber got shoot by a home owner trying to steal his four wheeler.
No charges made If anyone comes up here and messes with me they get to meet my 12 gauge
