I am sure that the Leaper is designed to come off in the event of an accident. They are not fitted in the UK and aftermarket ones can easily fall foul of Construction and Use Regulations, which govern the safety side of vehicles.

What ever you do please dont secure the leaper to your car. However, annoying it is to have one stolen, it will not kill you.

Yes, dont weld it on! Alarming it sounds good.

So does anyone know where we can find that flush mounted hood ornament? I'm not sure that is the route we will go to replace the hood ornament, but I'd like to see it online somewhere before we decide to get the leaper or the flush mounted ornament.

And the leaper flame thrower idea has been done. It was on MANSWERS, this guy had his exhaust and some extra pippes going outto the car doors, and when some one try to jack the car, the gas would flow thru lines and the hot exhuast, or spark from somehwere would shoot a wall of flame out, making kentucky fried chicken out of anyone in a 3 meter radius, now thats exescive

As a conductor, I hear enough train horns daily, thank you very much.

But, if you did want a good train horn setup, be aware that it requires an air tank, and a compressor.
