The same thing is true for car thieves! If your car is less than desirable in the eyes of the general public, it probably won\u2019t be desirable for a thief.

It\u2019s no surprise that the same country developed a car-mounted flame thrower system. Powered by trunk-mounted propane tanks, the system was capable of shooting 5-meter-high flames toward attackers. The company had financial difficulty and stopped selling the devices after 3 years in 2001. Nevertheless, a few hundred were sold, and there are still some on the road today.<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it. \u00a0Theft-prevention at its finest. \u00a0I recommend trying all of these at some point, although I think the first one is the hardest, as it&#8217;s going to be really hard to train a monkey like that!<\/p>\n<p>If you have any other ideas, feel free to leave suggestions in the comments below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-background has-text-align-center has-very-light-gray-background-color\"><strong>Download 2.5M+ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emanualonline.com\/cars.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">car repair manuals<\/a> here!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Car Theft is a problem throughout the world.
