Hi Todd,

Perhaps I should clarify.  I'm thinking of the fuel shut of as a backup to at least one OTHER (initial theft preventative) deterrent.

   JR,
      Point taken. But, in my mind, I wouldn't want to risk the life of others for a delayed anti-theft tool...(I was going to say theft deterrant but seeing how this works AFTER the theft...) 
       Another thought, if the person was to get away with the car and then it stop...whoaaa are talking a PO'D theif...you can expect major damage to the door as he left.
     I would go with the ol' battery lever, a lock mechanism BEHIND the license plate (I heard that on here or in the tech manual sometime) as well as a visible deterrant like the CLUB...anything to make them spend time and they will move on to a easier target.

    Could you get sued for it?  I suppose.  Would they win?  Probably not likely 
    since THEY ran into YOU (at least - into your car).  It is not even likely 
    that your turn off switch would be discovered at the scene - if there ever 
    were a scene to begin with.  So, the car stalled in traffic.  Happens EVERY 
    day!
