Corsair wrote:Good idea, but unless they have been on there an extremely long time it's unlikely to pull off any paint. Just wait until you have some time and work it slowly and clean up any residue with metholated spirits after.

If I add a dedicated broadband USB stick with its own SIM rather than rely on attaching to my mobile phone, I could use software like the Prey Project (originally intended to track stolen PC's) to literally remotely track where my car's been and to take happy snaps of the thief via the webcam. I could also remotely SSH into the car and start logging car data such as engine revs and car speed via ROMRaider or get GPS location data which could then be used as evidence against a thief. In effect, my car would become a glorified USB device on wheels.

Corsair wrote:That sounds very futuristic! You'd almost want it to happen just to test your hard work and shame the thief.
Corsair wrote:True. But if you're anything like me, you'd want to limit them in order to ensure the project gets finished!
