I share some of the same concerns. I have the original door/ignition locks on my '73, I just replaced the trunk and glove box since the trunk is usually the one that gets manhandled as mine was. I'm not crazy about posting my VIN for everyone either but everything keys off of it. Pardon the pun.

What would be the odds of someone using your VIN taken from a website, paying for the PHS, having keys made, then finding out where you lived and drive off with it?
If someone was going to do this they would probably just take the VIN off of your car while at a show,at least they know the general area of where the car is.

If someone wants it they will take it and there is nothing that you can do about it. No alarm, no garage, no type of security will stop them if they really want it. You can make it harder for them but you will never be able to stop them.
Great point John, anyone can get the vin. Maybe we should all put tape over our vins on the dash. |

Our cars only use a thin spring clip to retain the ignition lock cylinder. A couple dugs with a slide hammer and its out!
Anybody who is versed enough in stealing cars will have it gone in 60 seconds.

I agree, I repo cars for a living, & I,ve never not gotten a car I went after, yes I do have the luxury of a tow truck but still if they want it it,s good as done. BTW I do cover my vin on the dash, & yes I have had to explain to cop why.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
