<VV> Stolen Corvair (New Train?)

[RoboMan91324 at aol.com]

Any vehicle with valuable parts is a target for theft.  This includes both 
newer cars and classics.  With the risk of sounding paranoid, I always watch to 
see if I am followed when I drive one of my classic cars and especially when I 
drive my Harley.  The dirt balls see a vehicle on the road that has some 
value to them and follow you to see where you park it.  I have been followed on my 
bike more than once.  One of my chapter member's lost his very nice 64 coupe 
while in our chapter meeting.  What an unpleasant surprise when the meeting 
ended.

I think that a valuable discussion here on VV might be "How do we protect our 
Corvairs from theft?"  Has anyone installed anti theft devices in their Vairs 
and could you give the rest of us some pointers on good or bad technologies, 
which type might be best so that you don't lose points on concourse events, 
etc?  Obviously, we can go to the local car stereo / car alarm shop but it would 
still be helpful to learn of any real world experiences.
