If theres no way to store it in a garage, your best bet is a locking car cover and a set of wheel lock lug nuts.

Only problem with the special lug nuts is they are usually the wrong type. We need a ball type of seat and most are angled which will crack rims and cause problems.

Seth, I am sorry to hear this. I used to live in the hood (most of my life) and hated having to worry about shit. Next cover is gonna need a lock on it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I HATE tweekers!

If you get another one mark the cover with something big like maybe spray paint you plate number on it or anything else. some people steal just to steal. Some people steal to sell or use. Get the lock on the next one and mark it BIG.

I thought here in CA you HAD to mark your license plate number on the outside of the carcover or you would get fined by the popo.

Also, if they are indeed 'tweekers' who took the cover, you have to wonder if you locked a cover to the car, would they then take out frustration on the contents under the cover, ie, der 914...

I can't leave my 914 on the street. It's crammed into my cubicle sized garage with my motorcycle... workbench, toolbox, washer, dryer.. lol.

We're actually looking at buying a house with a 2-car garage now... so things are lookin up. Weeeeeeeeeeeeee

Sorry about the cover. Maybe pepperspray paintballs like the cops use for riot control.... that would ROCK a tweekers world.

Yep....Thats why it was not locked I thought about locking it but decided that if it got stolen that would be better than someone beating on it cause they were pissed. Tomarrow morning a bad as$ alarm is going in the 914. With a pager. Im going to adjust the sensor really sensitive so that it goes off easy. I used to do audio car systems I know some tricks. I have always wanted to hook a coil up to the door handles. But not sure if it would work..My girlfriend and I are trying to moveback to Aptos,CA and get a garage.
Thank you all for your support.
Seth

Sorry to hear Seth. I've wanted to buy one of those 914 'caps' that cover the windows and top but I could never pull the trigger because I know someone would steal it just because they could. The 911 targa 'cap' has straps that tuck in the doors and engine lid making them more secure. Too bad no one has made one like that for the 914. I haven't heard that term before: "tweekers".
BTW, I saw a silver 914 driving past the Domincan Hospital the other morning. Was that yours?

People who steal your shit should just die. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)

My friend had the cover stolen off his Porsche in the library parking lot. He was just happy there was no damage to the car and chose to assume it was a homeless person trying to keep warm.

They should still die. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)
i work hard for my stuff.

HeY Seth! Sorry to here about your cover,but aleast they didn't damage your car, you have a clean looking car. You can always buy a new cover, but fixing dents or paint job would be worst. The alarm sounds good it will at least maybe scare off. Got good news today,motor done and fired up today can pickup tomorrow or Saturday (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) Keep in touch John

Ive been trying to find one of these! where are they???????

edit: nothing ever happens out in my neck of the woods, worst thing I have to worry about is my neighbor's drunkard of a wife putting dings in our doors after she comes home from the bar. 3 new ones in the last week and she won't even acknowledge it, I'm gonna have to sue if this doesn't stop (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)
