Default Free theft prevention!!!!

Hey guys and gals I thought of a very simple way to protect your jeep from theft if your in a really bad part of town!!!

First draw your attention to your shifter. Then remove it by simply pulling up on it. Be careful not to knock yourself out with it! Lol

Then u will see this white nipple looking item which when pushed down allows your jeep to shift. Remove it by simply pulling it out.

Like so

Then you will have this and then hide the white stick somewhere in your jeep or put in your wife/girlfriends purse XD and reinstall the t handle shifter and boom! Super confused car theif!

Then just remove the shift ****, thieves don't like blisters caused from a knobless shifter.

Seems like an awesome idea, but wouldn't repeated removal of it sorta wear out the clips the hold it on? Just saying cause mine broke a couple clips in the 5 or 6 times I've taken it off. Could've just been me being careless though.

or after a long night you forget you took it out,
that would be a blast to figure out.

Yep, removing the "**** beads" will do the trick.
