Technical PRO tip. If a vehicle owner uses a Faraday cage, owns a proper alarm theft system, steering wheel lock, fuel switch, and cable lock system, theft is exceptionally difficult. SKILLED equipped thieves have to spend upwards of 10-15 minutes to overcome ALL levels of protection which at this point they are confronted or dissauded.

[@Hexnilium]

What is a cable lock system? Amd why not use a kill switch as well?

[@randymutch4315]

Simply remove fuel pump fuse...too easy

[@mypronouniswtf5559]

They reprogrammed the key,the key hidden in a Faraday cage wont do anything as the cars computer is reprogrammed...thus no keys needed from the owner the cars key could be 11,000 miles away and you can reprogram it as you just witnessed. Dealers do it for example you lost your keys aka remote fob for keyless start/push button start on your dash...Alarm wont work as car already had one,steering wheel lock can be easily removed in 10 seconds by a thief..Remember if they really want your car they can have a truck and tow it away,some thieves use stolen tow trucks.

[@TonyToneBass]

​@mypronouniswtf5559 yes, unfortunately crooks have many different choices for when it comes to stealing rides, I own a specialty custom security shop & I have had huge sucess with countering that saying of " If They Want it bad enough they get it"

[@The_Black_Knight]

​@@HexniliumFuel switch is included with a proper alarm system. Disables electronic distribution without first disabling. Not tied to ignition system. A cable lock goes through the steering wheel at a different point than lock bar and connects to seatbelt lock. Thieves need multiple tools or must saw two points on steering wheel.
