Not normally one for sensible words but I am going to have a crack at it...
been having various thoughts on the issue in light of the recent increase in this b*llocks and came up with a idea, not sure if any good but might start an interesting conversation on ideas on beating/standing up to it all.
My way of thinking is that no matter how much security you have on the car and driveway/garage, if the wankers get your keys they can undo it all anyway and if you have a device they cant sort out they will be sticking a gun to your head for the solution so I thought, how about a system that lets them take the car until it cuts out 1 mile down the road, at least then they are not in your face and will hopefully scare them off/give you time to do something about it.
Thought about fuel cuts/switches on fuel pump/in line tap on pump but thats not going to work as the car will only run for about 10 secs and they will not be off your driveway and be back to you for more, so... may try rigging a turbo timer delayed system for the fuel pump wiring, ie, after 30 secs it cuts the live wire and the car will stall. obviously needs some thought, not exactly a patent idea just yet but I have an old turbo timer and may rig somekind of bodge to see if its possible.
Anyone had any thoughts/know of any interesting products?
