unfortunately my daughters child seat and some toys were in it. other than that nothing of real value. I had a lib tech skate board and a little stroller in the back. hard to believe they would take it right outside my house. my dog didn't bark and its not like the jeep was quiet.

What neighborhood do you live in? A lot of xj's are stolen due to ease and just used to get somewhere. They will empty the tank and ditch it.

Yeah, i just moved to a pretty crappy place, close to 82nd and sandy. . Parkrose area. About six months ago someone tried in my old neighborhood but they failed. I should have put that kill switch in i was contemplating. Had a half a tank, it might be a while then. I hope you are right, that's what the cop said. Who happened to be named Tom Chung. He must get some **** for that..

Yep. For some reason it would have been real easy too. . I was just lazy. I also herd putting the transfercase in neutral might slow the dumb ones down. Thanks for the eyes. Maybe someone will spot it.

Ouch... Park rose....lol
Next hint to slow down a thief... If auto pull the **** off and remove the "beads" and put the handle on.
If 5 speed unhook the clutch switch.
2 simple ways to detour thief's. Hope you get her back

Thanks i hope so too, i bought it back in 96 so we have been through a lot . I always thought it didn't have a clutch switch- i could turn it over without depressing the clutch. Not that it would start, just lurch forward.

50 Cent anti-theft technology:

1) Buy an additional fuel pump fuse.
2) Remove current installed fuel pump fuse.
3) Blow out one of the fuses by connecting it to battery.
4) Put blown fuse into fuel pump slot when not using vehicle.
5) Your Jeep isn't going anywhere. (Unless the thief is clever enough to carry a box of fuses when stealing private vehicles.)

Or follow odgreen's advice, although I don't know what he's talking about as I'm still a newb. lol.
