    I have a fuel pump delay I designed myself.
    My car starts normally, but if a hidden switch isn't pressed within two minutes of the car starting, the fuel pump shuts off and cannot be restarted for five minutes. I figure that way the thief probably already has the car on the road nearby and in view of the public when it stalls on him, and he'll probably just abandon it where it is.
    The thing with theft deterrents isn't to make your car impossible to steal, because where there's a will there's a way. The thing is to make your car more difficult to steal than the one parked next door.

    Believe it or not some people have the gall to have your car towed away like its being repossessed. Once they get the vehicle they will take care of kill switches, alarms and etc.

      At this point a tracker, kill switch and a law enforcement grade wheel blocker/tire clamp. Seems the most effective combo.
      I want to see them tow a car with front and back wheels blocked.
      But sadly when a thief really wants something they will scout it first and come ready for it.
      Even that effective idea only works against common scum.

    Fuse box kill switches
    Ignition wire kill switches
    Most people go for the battery kill switch which is the one demonstrated in this video. Whether it be remote or not
    What's the danger of these if they shut off on you while you're in traffic or on the highway your screwed you lose all power steering and everything.
    The best one to get is the fuel shut off

    A 5 pin relay that directs the starter solenoid feed to a horn when the key is turned works a treat. Put a hidden momentary switch in to activate the relay before turning the key and the car starts as normal. Also leave nothing in your car and don't lock it and you will also escape the broken window!!

  • @joeldriver3971

    I have a steering wheel lock that cost less than $20 and I put it on the back of the steering wheel so nobody could possibly drill it off (or at least I don't see how they would be able to). You could also just pop off the top of one of your spark plug covers when you're leaving your car for the night. Makes it undrivable.
