<VV> REALITY HAS STRUCK

[Mark Noakes]

Not that it's at all guaranteed but if I have to leave my car someplace that I feel uncomfortable, I pull the coil wire totally out and take it with me.  Even ignition disablers could be bypassed at the engine compartment.  An engine lid lock would go a long way towards keeping someone out.
