^^^^^^^ big 10-4 fellas. If you catch them, hang them high in town square.
In my car, I jury rig the transmission and breaks. (I have a way of linking the two) Somone hotwires my car, instant they start going above 35MPH, breaks go out, and the transmission goes out.
I have a real problem with that.
What happens when somebody's wife and kids are in the way when the brakes go out?
In southern California they had no land line service, here some thieves chopped out some phone line to sell- what is going on here? No fear of God. No prayer in school, no ten commandments on courthouse walls, well what do we expect?
That's just disgusting....

I could see where that would be a big problem. Maybe something that renders the vehical useless if moved. I'm sure if you figured out how to make a car takeoff like that you can make it useless.:beatsme
It all sounds perfectly illogical to me. I'm sure its just me though.
Fortunately I'm single. and don't lend the car out to anyone. (insurance wont cover if the car would crash if someone other than myself was driving it- Unless it's stolen) I'll pick friends up, but wont allow them to drive.
It's very simple to rectify via unhooking a latch, and then disconnecting a cord from a home-made plug-in that links the electronic components. Very simple, and take 30 secs to do. To redo it, repeat process in reverse.
Brakes and tranny go out like you have it rigged, It plows into my wife and kids and kills them. ointheadSomone hotwires my car, instant they start going above 35MPH, breaks go out, and the transmission goes out.

Please think about the rest of us too.
MrMechanic...think about the fact that there could be people on the shoulder if you make a mod that will force the vehicle one way or another.
Does your car have airbags? Why not just make it so the airbag goes off when he's bending down to hot wire the car? Or when he puts it in drive? Or hits 10 miles per hour?.....there really is a long list of possibilities....turn signal, fastens seat belt....doesn't fasten seat belt.
If it has side impact airbags, put the side bags on a 10 second delay...this way it will be like a 1-2 punch. You could also rig the side impact bag to go off when he opens the door to get out after the first bag goes off...I'd pay the price of a movie ticket to watch a thief get owned like that.
I suppose you could even add airbags....ceiling...head rest, under a seat cover.
