I recommend an engine kill switch so this doesn't happen

[CopperNick]

For us older non-techno types, the easiest place to put the switch is between either the ground lead on the battery and what it is grounded to, presumably the engine, or better, in between the positive lead and that fat-a**ed stud on the solenoid down on the battery. For the one that I personally installed way back when, I went with the positive lead and routed it into....................................................(Uh-uh, that would be giving up secrets, and the whole point of that switch is to hide it so no one can "borrow" your ride to reduce it to parts or wrap it around a convenient tree.)

Seems to me the kill switch need not be rated for 100 amps or require 6-gauge battery cable connections. In the case of older non-techno types, just interrupt the distributor spark or start (starter solenoid) circuit. Interrupting the battery cables or main ground would be kinda obvious.

Its sad that if a theif wants something bad enough, they'll take it, but if caught in the act, i highly suggest that the owner should respond in kind and take his life in exchange with extreme prejudice.

Just remember, even with an ignition/ecu kill switch, a tow/flatbed truck can still take your car if its left unattended in an open parking lot, they'll just yank it up from the rear and take off because the front wheels are locked and typically straight, i've heard stories about it happening before.

A professional thief or a rookie won't use a flatbed truck even if the car is unattended it attracts attention.Cars have been stolen with a flatbed but really done. First thing a thief is going to do is bump your car a few times while walking by it just see if it has an alarm or not. No churps from the alarm screwdriver comes out. When a thief can't start your car there out of that car faster than they broke into it. A professional thief will tell you a kill switch is what you want, cant steal a car if doesn't start especially older cars like the gbodys.
