When I owned my very nice Toyota Supra I would pop the hood and remove the fuel injection fuse.
Would only take a few seconds
I have used the “club” on steering wheel since my days in Chicago in mid-1960’s and never had any car stolen. But I only buy bottom of line GM cars, which car thieves do not relish.
Good idea!
On my Datsun cars I would remove the rotor from the distributor cap, and I had a cutoff switch under the dash. On my old Chevy I had a cutoff switch for the ignition and for the fuel pump - which worked against me if I took off without turning on the fuel pump and the engine would die a minute later.
I used a homemade ignition cutoff switch. I hid the switch under the dashboard. One night thieves tried to steal the car, and managed to push it about one-half block, but they could not get the engine to start. They did not find the switch.
“remove the fuel injection fuse.”
That didn’t stop the thieves
who stole my ‘85 5.0
convertable.
A neighbors video camera
showed a commercially branded
tow truck back up to the
driveway. While one of the
thieves readied the rigging,
the other slid under the car
and removed the driveshaft.
Less than a minute....the
car was never seen again.
