Default kill switches..

already had that thought but also intend to move the ignition into the dash with a steel plate around it a la mercedes makes screw-drivering the barrel almost impossible without ripping the dashboard out first, lucky moms tumble dryer just died leaving lots of lovely steel plate to play with. will post pics if it work cry if it doesnt. the other option which is a bit extreme but would work is the lotus from for your eyes only. Set the alarm off and the car blows up, dont believe in second chances for car thieves.
