Someone went under my 2001 Jeep Cherokee 4.0L and stole my starter. I replaced it but Im trying to figure out a way to prevent it from happening again.

Who steals a starter lol,Sounds like someone is playing a joke on you or crazy ex.You could use the strongest locktite which will make it harder then hell to remove the bolts if you ever have to replace it yourself.

 

Coverthe pavement under your parking spot with tar.... it'll just look like an oil stain at night!

 

 

Who the hell steals a starter??

You could try and replace the bolt with a security bolt? Loctite is a good idea but they apparently had enough time to stop and crawl under there so it will only slow them down. Hopefully they don't come back knowing that you have a new starter.

Best answer is get a decent 2-way car alarm with a proximity sensor.

 

he dont need another !!

 

BUT WHAT PART IS NEXT..... Alarm like mentioned!! Or sleep in the *****!!!

 

No,the best answer is to not live in a place where they steal starters. Where are you Detroit? Really? Who throws a shoe?

 

I really hate when people use Detroit as their target city, pick a new goddamn city. Come on people.

 

Waffles the strongest locktite they won't get off with out heating it up or a impact.

 

Never underestimate the strength of a crackhead

 

Catalytic converters fetch more than a starter in scrap. If a Jeep starter is anything like a SBC starter, they are dirt cheap! Got a welder? I'd weld a skid plate under the bastard. Next time you have to work on it will involve a grinder, but they won't steal it again without a grinder or torch.

 

My response is like everyone else's. Who the hell steals a starter? Is this some kind of Halloween prank?

Park in a garage?

 

I'm glad i own a driveway and have a dog,And worse case they meet mr smith and mr wesson up close and personal.

 

and more so to the point, who kills someone over a $50 starter
