Plus, everyone should have a container one container of blue loctite and one container of red loctite around.
Endless uses.
I use the blue on my paintball marker, my pocketknife, and around the house.
The last time I used red loctite was to prevent people from stealing the house and nozzle I installed at my old apartment complex. I'm pretty sure that hose and nozzle are still there.

get yourself a web cam and a flashing red led to scare them away from your car. or maybe a proximity sensor with a fm pager will help. right now i just use a web cam it i never have a problem since the first antenna was taken

well... if you use the red loctite.... they'll need a nice heat gun or torch... along with pliers..
blue loctite will just need pliers, but it'll still give them an effort to take depending how much you use...
techically you're only supposed to use a few drops.. but whatever..

if you want it to never come off ever, and the person would have to break it to get it off (which would defeat the purpose of them stealing it).. just use liquid nails on the thread and on the bottom of the antenna.. and it will never come off.. even with tools.. it'll break the antenna first
