A kill switch won't stop someone from pulling the neutral safety strap and pushing the car onto a flatbed. This is how most are being stolen now. They'll have plenty of time to figure out the kill switch. In other words, there isn't one anti-theft device that's a cure-all.

I have car insurance...

Great. In 2024 you can take that check down to your local Dodge dealer and buy a brand new Challenger.

I have the kill switch (Ravelco), clutch pedal lock, steering wheel lock, wheel lock, locking wheel lugs, GPS tracker, park in a garage, and I surround my Hellcat with garden rakes lying on the floor, prongs up, and I scatter marbles all over the garage floor.

That's right, I'm using layered security mixed with Home Alone!

By my count that's a 7-layer cake, although I would add Legos on the floor in case the thief is barefoot.

Or go buy a 2024 Dark Horse Mustang since Dodge left us hanging.

I don't hate myself that much.

Push the car on a flat bed? Shoot. The car is hooked and winched up on a tilt bed. Takes about as much time to do this as it takes to type this sentence.

And even with a non flat bed type tow truck I've posted links to videos of a tow truck with a stinger just backing up to a Challenger and lifting an end and moving off with the car.

I think maybe your literal filter is set too high.

"and pushing the car onto a flatbed"

Just responding to what you wrote. So yeah, I took it literally.

I pointed out that you take things too literally and you responded that you take things literally, so...

My intent wasn't to solicit suggestions for better means of hauling cars, I only meant to say that these cars are being hauled away and not stolen using other methods. But I appreciate your dissertation (and by that I do not mean to imply that you have literally written a dissertation on the methods of moving cars).

Im betting YOU have ZERO theft deterrents on your car. ZERO! Would I be correct? Its ppl like YOU that gets their shit stolen bro cause u know car theives will just figure shit out and take ur car and push it down the street. So what do they do when they push it down the street and still cant start it? Did u consider that scenario?

A hidden kill switch in the truck will NEVER be found by some MOPE who just pushed my car down the street which twill never happen BTW cause I have the security plate with security screws. And my plate was made from Titanium so forget trying to smash thru it. Had it made at local fab shop. Cost $40.

No, thats NOT how most Hellcats / Scats are stolen that is 100% INCORRECT! That makes up like 1% of stolen Hellcats / Scats smh. I did this professionally for over over two decades in Auto Theft. Pushing a car down the street is the most RARE example of how ANY car is stolen where do u get this information from? Thats total BS.

U need multible ppl for that to happen and a car is HEAVY it just doeant push down the street easily and what heppens when there is a hill? Car thieves brings all kinds of attention to themselves when doing that. Thats NOT how its done bro.

So a car theif is gonna go into my trunk and figure out where my kill switch is located after he finds the one inside my car? Right...... smfh.

Just admit YOU dont have ANY theft deterrent on your car so stop talking shit about those that want to prevent one of the most stolen cars in America from being stolen.

Ur attitude is why nearly ALL members here DONT have kill switches and that same attitude is why ppl get their shit STOLEN. I know cause its not gonna happen to you right. YOU live in a safe neighborhood.....smh.

Appreciate your thoughtful response, lacking in comprehension as it is. Have I considered the scenario where they push it down the street and still cant start it? Yes, I have and the reality is they won't start it, they'll push it (or attention Rockster, use some other method) onto a flatbed and take it somewhere they'll have all the time in the world to figure it out. My assertion, which I stand by is that a kill switch, by itself, is not going to be an effective anti-theft deterrent because most of the time these cars aren't being driven away. A kill switch is fine as one of several anti-theft methods but shouldn't be relied upon as a single point of defense.
