Most classic cars do not come with anti-theft devices already fitted, so can be vulnerable to being stolen. The good news is that your average classic car is not considered a good target by most car thieves. Generally, car thieves want a car that can be easily broken down into parts or sold on. The market for classic cars and their parts is relatively limited, making them less attractive to thieves. However, you should still protect your vehicle.
If you want to show your car you must bear in the mind the need not to change the outward appearance of the car when you fit anti theft devices. Unfortunately, this will rule out things like etching your windows or putting stickers in your windows telling thieves that you have anti-theft systems fitted to the car.
Fitting removable anti-theft devices will not spoil the outward appearance of your vehicle, meaning that you can still enter it into car shows. The best removable devices are steering locks or brake pedal locks. There are so many different types on the market, that finding one that will work in your car is relatively easy. They are also quite cheap and very convenient to use.
The simplest anti-theft method is removing the distributor cap or ignition rotor when you park. Removing the fuel pump fuse, if your car has one, is also easy once you know how. Make sure that you have some wet wipes and a towel in the car, so that you can wash and dry your hands before getting into the car. Locking your car is the most important thing you can do to deter thieves. Modern drivers are use central locking so much, that they sometimes forget that older cars need each door and window to be shut and locked individually.
Fitting a battery cut off switch or vehicle tracking system are other options, which can befitted to practically any vehicle. Vehicle tracking will not stop your car from being stolen, but will ensure that you can get it back quickly.
