guns, dogs, fences, garages and alarms all work for me...
A motion detector triggering a sonic ear piercing sound, then reach for the 9mm.
Sure do. Alarms pretty much just keep the honest folk away. Sure you can get one that pages you and you can come out and put the brakes on things, providing you can get there quick enough........Not much said about car alarms. Do the pros have a way around these too?
Still toying with ideas here. Got my dash harness out chasing some electrical gremlins so it seems like a good time to do something.
Anybody have any ideas for a remote relay of some sort? Something you could activate with a fob, or even better would sense the proximity of the fob? Kind of coming up blank on my searches.
Thought about hidden button, but seems like that depends on the guy not finding it. Kind of like something a little tougher to defeat.

White wire on an MSD box run through a switch to ground does the J.O.B.
I've been thinking of going with what 67Dart273 said. but using the cigarette lighter as a switch. no one would ever think to press the cigarette lighter in to start the car.
One of these and should be good to go right?

This thread is so old...
...you may have changed some of the hardware in the car. But trick stuff like this depends largely on being able to keep a quick thief from figuring things out on the basis that your car is NO LONGER FACTORY
So if you use an electric fuel pump-------break the control line to the pump relay with a small hidden switch.
Whatever you have for ignition, switching IE Mopar, or points, use a switch to ground the NEG coil lead. MSD is a different issue, but you can do a similar thing with that
If you have wheels with holes, IE slots or spokes, you could lash a length of plastic protected chain or cable through a wheel, and around a leaf spring
NOTHING you do is going to prevent thieves with time, darkness, and a wrecker.
How about keyless start but need to have a key fob in the car to start the car with the push button. That is what is utilized in my moms 2011 Highlander and is great don't even have to have the key out of your pocket
Another vote for the Trunk Monkey!
On a factory wired car with no hood lock, I can have your car running in about 30 seconds with a clip lead and a quarter. And I'm old and arthritic
I'd forget about the start circuit, THINK about it
FIRST thing to do is get the hood chained shut. FIRST.
That's because NO MATTER what you do to the start circuit, if the battery is accessible and hooked up, "I" can still reach "down there" with a screwdriver, jumper across the start relay or starter and crank the engine.
If you use a Mopar ECU, I can still hook a clip lead to the coil and fire the ignition
THESE ARE the key points.
If you want to hide the ignition box under the dash, you could break the power to the box, and it might be hard/ too much time to chase down
If you ground the coil NEG (tach circuit, hint) it won't fire
