In-Door lock protection - The Jimmi Jammer™

The most common tool used in vehicle burglary or theft is a screwdriver!

The sketch below shows our Jimmi' Jammer™ plate mounted to the backside of the handle, inside the door. Thus, when the thief tries to pry into the door, the plate stops them cold!



The Jimmi Jammer™ is A custom formed solid 14 gauge steel plate that bolts to the backside of your door handle, preventing thieves from prying into the handle seam to get at the lock rods.

Unlike alarms and other security products, the Jimmi’ Jammer™ stops thieves from getting into the vehicle in the first place.

Once installed, there is nothing more to do... nothing to deploy or activate each time you leave the vehicle...the Jimmi’ Jammer™ is always in place to protect your vehicle and valuables inside.

Tailgate theft prevention - The Gate Keeper™

The most common places for pickup truck tailgate theft are parking lots in Home Improvement stores, shopping malls, grocery stores, etc. If you frequent these places, you are very likely to fall victim to tailgate theft.

Tailgates are very easy to steal and sell. With factory replacements often costing up to $1,000 when it is all said and done, you can buy a nice complete setup for as little as $100 through a variety of sources.

Some companies sell locking tailgate handles, but for those that use their tailgates almost daily as I do, that can become more of a hassle then a tool. The locking tailgates are not that difficult to get past, and once they do, they can have your tailgate in less than 30 seconds, you know how quickly you can remove your own...

We offer the Gate Keeper which bolts onto your truck and covers the pivot point so the tailgate cannot be removed without proper tools. We supply everything you need including the tool to install/un-install the unit. Installation takes only minutes yet allows you to open/close your tailgate at will while keeping is secured to your vehicle!

Oilers clip wings, they lead series 3-2
The Detroit Red Wings seem to show a very big problem in recent years, always getting the puck in the net during the regular season, but coming up short in the playoffs, when it really counts. Detroit went 0-6 on the powerplay last night.
I remember when San Jose put us out early years back when everyone (including me) thought the Wings seemed invincible. Edmonton is a Number 8 seed and is one game away of sending Detroit to the golf course early... They need to turn it up Monday night in Edmonton if they want the Cup, especially on the power play.

GO WINGS!

Detroit Red Wings tie it up at 2-2!

Detroit beat the Edmonton Oilers last night 4-2 with three powerplay goals!
Edmonton's coach is not very pleased with the officiating.

Internet hoaxers explain Air Force One prank
Take one rented 747, add paint, turn on video camera ...

Updated: 8:15 p.m. ET April 21, 2006
WASHINGTON - A startling Internet video that shows someone spraying graffiti on President Bush's jet looked so authentic that the Air Force wasn't immediately certain whether the plane had been targeted.

It was all a hoax. No one actually sprayed the slogan "Still Free" on the cowling of Air Force One.

The pranksters responsible for the grainy, two-minute Web video — employed by a New York fashion company — revealed Friday how they pulled it off: a rented 747 in California painted to look almost exactly like Air Force One.

"I wanted to do something culturally significant, wanted to create a real pop-culture moment," said Marc Ecko of Marc Ecko Enterprises. "It's this completely irreverent, over-the-top thing that could really never happen: this five-dollar can of paint putting a pimple on this Goliath."

The video shows hooded graffiti artists climbing barbed-wire fences and sneaking past guards with dogs to approach the jumbo jet. They spray-paint a slogan associated with free expression.

After the video began circulating on the Web on Tuesday, the Air Force checked to see whether the plane had been vandalized. - http://www.stillfree.com/

"We're looking at it, too," said Lt. Col. Bruce Alexander, a spokesman for the Air Mobility Command's 89th Airlift Wing, which operates Air Force One. "It looks very real."

Alexander later confirmed that no such spray-painting had occurred.

Ecko acknowledged Friday that his company had rented a 747 cargo jet at San Bernardino’s airport and covertly painted one side to look like Air Force One. Employees signed secrecy agreements and worked inside a giant hangar until the night the video was made. Ecko declined to say how much the stunt cost.

"It's not cheap," he said. "You have to be rich."
