Can this be used as an anti-theft device? Or is it not recommended for that? Thank you in advance.

Yes, it would work as an anti-theft device. It needs to be turned to the ON position to connect the battery to the boat, so it is a second key, independent to the ignition switch.

Technically yes, the red part is like a key so you can take it out if you want and if you somewhat hide the location of the switch it would definitely be tough to steal. I have had friends try to move my car and they just thought the battery was dead until I showed them where to the switch was.

What this switch does when the key is turned to "on" is complete the circuit from a battery to whatever it is you are powering. So, yes, I suppose it could work as a security device to prevent a battery from powering a circuit, such as the starter motor on a vehicle, if you removed the key and the switch was located somewhere that was not obvious. I have not tried it, but I think that even without the key one could easily rig something to complete a circuit, so having the unit in a non-obvious location would seem prudent.

Not really theft proof but they do have a set screw that takes a small hex wrench. If you did not loosen the screw you probably could twist the valve stem caps off of the stem with some force. It might damage the stem the Tyredog caps or both. It sort of falls in the category of "Locks keep the honest people out". I would call it "Theft deterrent". Of course without the display unit that is inside the car the caps are useless and vice versa for you if the caps get stolen.

No do not buy this for that purpose. It is a bypass for using a third party car starter that has unlock/lock door, remotely start your car, some safety features so only the car is started and nothing else is activated. So a thief can't just get in your remote started cart to drive. Also has some other features you need for a third party remote started to work propelry. So you can use ONE remote for all functionality. This is NOT A RANGE extender!

Absolutely, just like anything in life; then it becomes worthless to the end user doesn't it! But you can always use it in your car to make someone think you have an alarm system for theft.

I Don't Use Mine For That: It Is More Of Training Tool. I Have Two, First On Broke, Second One Still Works Good. Like Anything Else You Have To Take Care Of It.

You can rig it for use in home security system using a separate mini dvr with micro SDHC card. That is how I used it

Not sure what you would do that unless somebody try to snatch it in your presence. Usually this is use while you are momentary away just like leaving a bike. If you don't leave your bike, no point of locking it. I bought three of these and they're pretty secure. Of course with heavy duty cutter can cut anything including a chain. It makes it harder for anyone to steal the one that has a secure lock. Choose the one exactly shown in the picture but compare prices.

Mr. or Ms. AJ - You're regrettably missing the point as the device you allude to is solely destined to be used in a home & NOT - repeat NOT - to be personally carried around! Hope this answers your mis-guided quuestion!

Since it is not intended for such uses, I cannot recommend using the harness that way. It is an excellent, well-fitting harness and it has ample strength so it would work for those applications. It just may not be the optimal solution for that.

if you are worried about theft, do not count on this for protection. I secure it to the ground and my back yard fence but do not have to worry about theft there. I would imagine a thief could just pick the whole thing up and take it if they were motivated. It also would be easy to cut into. It is not very big, but holds all of my yard tools and equipment nicely.

This lock is a straight up deterrent. If you live in a high crime area it won't keep a real thief from getting it. But it will work fine for a scooter.

You could put a cable through the slot at the end of the device. The slot is about 1/8" by 5/16". A cable might prevent a casual grab of the device, but the slot is just a hole in the thin end of the plastic housing, presumably for carrying it on a keychain or the like. A determined thief could break through the plastic around the hole without much effort. It would have to be a dumb thief, though, since the device isn't much good for anything without the software it is meant to protect.

you can but the device is not waterproof... if it is sheltered it not generally a problem. If it is exposed to water or rain it could be an issue.CSH

You are correct, for mountain bikes with disc brakes and quick-release wheels, this would be a poor choice for security. This is meant for motorcycles whose wheels take much longer to remove.

Simple answer : no, application of this device would not be suitable for that.

This is reasonably secure. A thief with basic hand tools would be hard-pressed to get in or take the unit. The cable-locking system it comes with could be easily overcome with bolt-cutters and the box itself could be easily broken into with a crowbar, or something similar with leverage. But for an average vehicle break-in, they would be hard-pressed to get at or take your weapon. For the car, I use the smaller case for a single Glock 19 or 26.

Yes, but I wouldn't buy it for that. I Bought one for that exact reason. Problem is the battery get eaten up too quick. I had one in my car for about a week and the battery went dead. Then I had all sorts of problems getting it open with the backup 9v battery. The safe is currently sitting on a desk collecting dust.
