Sometimes stealing a car is a gang initiation or used in other crimes.Tools can be sold easy but its work and mostthieves are lazy and won't do it.

Didn't get time to take pics but got the ignition in. Still gotta do the door locks.
Went much smoother then expected.

I installed a kill switch (fuel pump). It's right there in the open, mounted in the console with 9 identical switches. One of them activates a taser mounted to the metal frame of the driver's seat and the other 8 flash the lights and sound the horn. Only one of the switches is labeled, it says "START".

i have used kill switches in the past but now I use a Truck lock. (larger brother to the Auto Lock)..it locks your brake pedal or clutch pedal solid...(not a stupid steerng wheel lock AKA Club)...somewhat hard to defeat for the average punk...if it is night and they just slide into the drivers seat and not see it there they no doubt will knock their shin on it and IT HURTS..ask me how I know....anyway if they wanted it bad enough they will get it and at least someone peering in seeing the brake lock will move on to the next victim..just a thought and glad they didnt get yours
