D*** little idiots. Car theft is getting to be such a problem any more, glad you didn't get anything worse than what you got.

Summit does have what I think you are describing, it is Hella 002843011

We used on on Don's T and I have used them in various boats. They give you a spare red key with it. When turned to the off position the key removes entirely. I would also put a hidden toggle switch into the ignition wire going to the coil if I were you. I have two hidden switches on my T to shut down everything. Anything you can do to slow them down helps.

Good luck in finding the creep.

Glad to hear you didn't end up losing your ride. That'd suck for sure.

I seem to recall a device that had a switched input to the coil as well and if you didn't hit the switch within about 30 seconds of starting the car, it would simply start cutting out cylinders and the car would end up dying....The theory was, as I recall, that if a thief got the car started and then began to drive away and the car just started running rough, died and wouldn't restart (with out putting the hidden switch in the propper position), they would assume that the car had mechanical problems and would abandon it before they actually got away from the area it was in with it.

Good luck and hopefully you guys can catch 'em in the act next time they try it.

Cheers,

Watson Streetwork's sells some neet ignition cut off switches that can be installed and hidden in the car. I installed my switch inside the car. Its a small button switch that can be installed any were you want even under the upholstery. They sell another type that works with a fob that activates the switch. Also I think they have one that works with a credit card kind of gizmo that you keep in your wallet and when you and the wallet get close enuff to your car, it enables the ignition (no switches to worry about)
