Pyschic(sp) lol, I know in my friends '91 sable there's a fuel cutoff switch stock on his car. This could be made remote some how...if someone could fabricate one just an idea. Not sure if it's in all cars check your Hanes(sp) book, only had like one paragraph on it in the book...although it seems like a very useful "accessory".

Just weld metal plates surrounding the lock actuator rods onto the door. They won't interfere with the window at all, and will prevent slim jim/hanger entries from the outside.

I'm putting a manual valve on my fuel line when I get my car back....well, if I get my car back. Steal it again...it'll start and make it about a half mile then die.

some cars I park in valet have a "hidden" switch. Sometimes it's the power window button, sometimes it's the turn signal, etc... anything can be made into a switch to make a car harder to steal.

I think its pretty f'ed up there doing it... I mean people bust there ass and work hard as hell to get parts to make there car look/ run nice, and because of there hobby a thief thinks he has the right to take what we have done and put are time and money in, so he can go strip it down and sell the parts.. I mean how would the thief feel if we stole his shit? "pretty pissed" i hope no one elses cars get stolen and sorry to hear about anyones car that gets broken in or stolen i know what it is like my old car got broken into 2 times and had the system stolen each time... now i wont even put a system in my car because i dont like the hastle plus tired of my insurance going up for stupid shit and me paying 500 to have my insurance pay the rest.

Put a button on the dash that says "Kill Switch Disable" and have it shoot pepper spray at the head area of the would be car thief. Also have it wired to the horn so the horn will keep honking.
