Oil pan, we talk about kill switches periodically regarding EOC, but somehow, in this thread with its aggressive protection theme, somehow it sounded more like an automated trunk monkey. Your phone alerts you that your car was moved, you hit the "kill" button, and there is one less car thief, but hopefully an organ donor.

War Wagon, as I caught up with the latest messages, I was thinking the same thing that you wrote, if they really want your car, they will take it, but the easiest thing is to make your car less attractive in the first place, which I really think is a theme here.

Your neighbors have new cars and you have a Metro or Festiva. Your neighbors have oversized rims and you have a boat tail. Your neighbors have expensive stereos and you have election signs duct-taped to your car. Your car is pretty safe.

I just ecomod so that nobody steals my car!
