    most thiefs will leave if the car does not start on the intial attempt, a hidden fuel pump kill switch is much easier and if u place it right no one will ever notice you flipping it or even find it.

    urs is good but what if the thief sees what ur doing???
    TOO BIG

    I like the ingenuity, but wouldn't a good alarm do the same?

    Exactly. It is a cool idea, but it's a lot of work to do when other, simpler methods work just as well. And yo have to do this every time you go somewhere will just get tiring. Later, QD.

    X2^ its not a bad idea, but it would be a hassle... But it looks cheap and pretty easy way to keep your car safe... So good idea

    Welcome to 2004 when thieves began using roll backs and fake repo documents.

    For years I always unplugged my distributor but left it looking like it was plugged in...even if a thief was dumb enough to take the time to look under the hood. Pulling a fuse helps too but everyone has caught on to that too. If the car cranks and doesn't start it's either a fuse, a relay, a kill switch, or something is disconnected. It takes time to diagnose what it could be if a car doesn't start.

    There's only two things you need though. A good alarm that alerts the owner and a GPS locator installed in the car. $10-20 p/ month for the service and you'll always be able to track the car. I'd rather have the car taken and them caught then just a broken window or jacked up locks every time.

    Well why would the install matter? If they cut wires to an alarm, they'd have to re-attach them properly, i.e. takes time they don't have. As sophisticated as even cheap alarms are now, it just would be more convenient than a bulky pig tail sticking out of the back of your jeans IMO.

    As someone mentioned, a simple fuel cut-off switch could do the same too and you wouldn't have to carry anything around with you.
