Default Protection against the thieves out there....

Ok, I had a friend that did this once. First get an alarm to start, even if you don't have an alarm this is still a good idea. Pop your hood when you park at a mall, work, home, etc.... remove so of the important fuses, IE.. MPI fuse, starter, and anything else important like that, without the MPI, no gas is getting in the motor so whatever you try and do, it ain't running. If you have an alarm, make sure you don't remove any for the alarm, like a main power one. Or instead of removing them completely, just switch some around, put fuses in blank spots. What are the chances of a thieve carrying extra fuses or know exactly which one goes where and what one you took out. I don't care if they do have fuses, they're not gonna take that much extra time to figure it out and makin it obviously. Just my 2 cents with everything, I been removing and switchin fuses all the time, had one attempt at a mall and I think because of the fuses, they gave up, and I also don't have an alarm yet

Or you can just remove the main dash relay, or add a kill switch.

Interesting concept. I still like my hidden kill switch.

Or you could buy a geo. Then then the risk of your car being stolen drops dramatically

Yea, my fuse idea still working. I want to add more though, Hatchy, how do you add the kill switch to your fuel? Also, how is your clutch pedal locked up? More **** wouldn't hurt, lol

Good idea, but if someone really wants your car, they'll figure out a way to take it.

all theyve gotta do is tow it..... no matter how many fuses you take out, or parts, its not gonna prevent towing..

hey, if you remove your steering wheel, do you carry it with you around where ever you go? and how would that help you if it is left in the car anyways.
