Default Re: Break-in potential

If it's just the gauges you are concerned about attracting unwanted attention;
  • Paint the gauge holder black if it is shiny silver or light grey
  • In summer use a windscreen sunshade
  • In winter chuck an old windcheater on top of the dash
  • Darkest legal tinted windows also help a lot

But if they think it is a performance car, they are more likely to want to steal it rather than to just break-in.

Most break-ins happen when thieves can see something of value inside the car, irrespective of what type of car it is.
