Your not going to stop someone that really want the car and has a tow truck\roll back. If you car is really rare you may want to think about some type of low jack to track you car after it is stolen. Sears use to sell a battery you could turn on and off with a remote but I can not find it anymore.

I always thought the steering wheel locks where kind of funny, I have seen them advertised "Hardend tool steel almost impossible to cut through" Well how hard is the steering wheel to cut through? It takes about 15 seconds with a hack saw and the wheel can be replaced at any junk yard for $25

An extra door lock sure wouldn't hurt either.

Save you from being pissed cause the guy stealing your car is smart enough to know about under dash kill switch's(and they allways look in console/glove box).. Place it in a location that no one would suspect it to be. I have one on my truck, and none of my buddy's have found it yet.

Residents have demanded that police should take some other measures for stopping the rising incidents of car thefts.

Maybe they're stockpiling vehicles for later use as car bombs!
