Default would this be safe?

would it be safe to keep my PGM-FI relay unplugged over night? there have been lots of stolen civics in my area lately and im thinkin about different ways to keep my car from being a victim. they are mainly targeting the fixed up ones......wat do yall think?

im thinkin it would be safe. it would just be a hassle everyday to plug it in and unplug it everyday.

anyone think otherwise?

build an interupt switch to your ecu,
run a wire and a toggle, then you can deter power but you are kinda looking for trouble messing with the electrical system the fuse works in the city, thieves dont mess around to much to figure out why it doesnt start. I have also heard of folks in Camden and Newrk NJ Doing things to the clutch safety switch, but i have no idea what. I did the toggle on my RX7 a few years back so i know it works. Dont do it half *** it,you will pay in the long run. If its that bad by LOJAC!
good luck

Shouldn't hurt, but if you lose it or even drop it a couple of times(contacts comming loose) and your out in the boons, then your screwed.
