..back in the day we would pop open the distributor and take the rotor in a pocket...making it impossible to steal....guess you could take one critical relay with you like "ignition relay" or "fuel pump relay" either of these things would be a "NO run...ever" type security.....hate to say this but be on the lookout for a black flat-bed hauler with two guys in it that your car will be "gone in sixty seconds" as are associate David H25 insists there's a movie from the 70's by that name...yes, take a critical component with you~ judge-out~

1974 stars Toby Haliki.... 2000 Nicolas Cage *********Now I hope you are not asking if there is a switch on an anti theft device you can "turn off" to get around it. Or if I may, why do you ask?

remember those goofy extra key sockets that were mounted to the fender with a "security switch"....I remember those conspicuous "fender warts" may help to scare away the perpetrator...times have changed~~~

wouldn't simply unscrewing the shroeder valves putting all four tires flat without hope of using a bicycle pump or fux-a-flat on that because you now hold the keys to mobility~ that would make it stop rollin'~ (the evil mind at work)~

Well they are not in the top ten list of stolen cars, so I suppose not a popular target for a thief. 2008 is worth about $14k
