Sled Security

[Rocky Mountain Rider]

I'm looking for way to help prevent sled theft. I've seen the track lock and the throttle lock. Any other ideas?

Are you talking on the ground or in a truck or in a trailer etc? I say Lock it up the best you can and have really good insurance, just remember that if they want it bad enough, they will get it!

exactly.

geico LOL

a friend has a cable that when cut makes an AWEFULL! sound and screetching. pretty cool the mechanism/box is also steel so it would be hard to bust

We drilled a hole in the pannel by the key and put in a battery powered flashing led.....kinda looks like a security system/ tracking system....... seems it might have been a bit of a deterent. came out to find the cover missing but the sled was still in the truck. and they were threw the cable and chain.

This works OK too.

and i guess it really doesn't matter if your too drunk to use it....could mow down most thieven bastages within ear shot with that thing.......probably a better deterant than a flashing LED.!!!! hahahhah

Chained and locked forsure. Someone had a good idea about stashing a Spot on the sled and putting it on track mode when you have to leave your sled unattended. Won't stop thieves but have a better chance of catching them!

Don't know about the spot (hate to lose it) but there are GPS systems for sleds!! It would be very nice to find the sled and it's new owner. Police need not be called.

I have this GPS tracking software for my Iphone through www.me.com, I know that we have gps tracking through work on our vehicles, but they need to be running to engage the gps. Your only problem is that if you have a gps tracker that runs on batteries, I bet the time that the batteries are dead is the time it gets stolen.

As mentioned above, "if they want it they'll get it". Just some devices work better than others to slow em down a bit. Insurance is a must!

 

[tonykunz]

x2 what they said

If you ride without insurance, you're a moron with a big "Pick Me!" sticker on your forehead. Murphy's law.

Keep it out of sight, don't load it on your truck the night before you go riding. Load it in the morning and unload it when you get home. If the theives can't see it they can't steal it. That and a Kryptonite Cable and lock.

If only there were a way to electrify tow vehicle, trailer and sled ... electrocute the scumbags

locks and chains DO NOT STOP them! it takes less then 2 seconds to use their bolt cutters to cut them off! GPS...."GO FIND ME" is only $250 and you can follow it with your smart phone! you can also put it in the kids back pack and see if he is safe coming home from school......it also has a "Help Me, I Have Fallin" button that will call up to 3 people..........multi uses and all self contained.......BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK!!!!! in the drug bust down the road, they found 2 hot sleds.

Ive got this thing. Fits a chain that may have been laying around at work that i would see and not bother with a hacksaw. If they get past the chain without waking anyone then they can have iit and insurance can handle the rest. The gps would be nice for a little visit to the theives though.....
