Sounds like the same thief wanted it the second time. Then one of the two-wire alarms should do.The first was my bad. I guess.
The second time, the club removed and wheel destroyed. (Looked like they used a bottle jack?)
This third time - who knows.
I have security lights flooding my driveway and street.
It's an old car - slippery locks - doesn't owe me a dime.
What should impress you is that I got it back 2 times un harmed already!
There are diffuser lenses filters that spread out the light much more evenly and light up a wider area.
I have one of these on one of my weapon mounted lights and on a large handheld light it works very well
I think that you've hit the nail squarely on the head with your observation about the political climate. It seems that liberals are stumbling all over themselves trying to demonstrate how sensitive they are to those that simply want to steal your possessions. You face an uphill battle to keep what is yours and protect those that you love,Last week my poor Honda was stolen for the 3rd - and most probably the last time. 280k miles - leaky rack - impending euthanasia - but still a loyal little car I had grown attached to.
So I quickly got on the phone to report her missing. (Last time she 'escaped' she apparently was an unwilling participant in a local crime spree!)
On hold for 35 minutes - but the officers arrived pretty quickly.
During our conversation I learned that over a dozen cars were lifted near here in only the previous 3 days. Lot of activity here in The Flats lately I guess.
Lots of property theft from homes, too. During our chat the subject of clearing a homeowners yard at night with a weapon and light came up.
It was on the fly. I had never thought about the situation before and the question came up - When does my using my weapon light as illumination tool (on my own property) turn into a menacing / brandishing event should I find someone hiding in my yard? (ORS 166.190 ; ORS 166.220)
As far as he was concerned - if I found a trespasser on my property he'd feel it reasonable that I would be naturally fearful, which would justify my 'light' turning into my 'weapon'. We went back and forth on the topic and agreed it was a head scratch-er - but he also warned me that just because an officer could give a pass - anyone else down hill of his report (DA's office) could reinterpret it as straight brandishing (menacing) if they really wanted. No guarantees. Especially with today's politics motivating every action by city council.
Just wanted to share and see what other's opinions would be. Up until then I had never given it a thought. But now that I have (Port Sumter!) I realize that short of a reasonable and fair officer showing on scene and helping with creative report writing - this could get messy as hell with the wrong perspective.

To augment my steering wheel lock, I just ordered a "fake car alarm light" on Amazon prime because I too drive a stealable beater. $9, solar, usb, blue flashing LED.The first was my bad. I guess.

I had a few battery powered red ones years ago but they'd eat their AAA batteries like crazy so stopped using them.
Yep, I live in the hood.. probably pretty close to FF proper. Plenty of night walkers.I think you and I are neighbors from I gather.
Closest one here to understanding how it really feels to live among The Night Walking Dead every night.
Just wait - Mt Scott turns into a 24 hour access dormitory end of the month.

It is an Orwellian world in which the thief is victim and the owner is guilty of menacing.
I totally figured out the solution. U just have to have the gun smaller than the light and nobody will know the gun is there! (kidding!)...When does my using my weapon light as illumination tool (on my own property) turn into a menacing / brandishing event should I find someone hiding in my yard?...
Or just use Blue Dot..

2) "But at least half the time I am also using a small light clipped to the bill of my ball cap as a headlamp."
"If there's an armed bad guy in those bushes, the most likely thing he will aim for is your flashlight."
Are you sure you want the light mounted on your head?
