    Wiring a train horn to my alarm was the BEST thing ive done!

      Honestly that is actually a great idea. While i wouldn't wire it to be used while driving, having it only exist as an alarm probably will deter thieves. Problem is will my neighbors complain? maybe but it would go off only during theft attempts, not any other time.

No mode of transportation, no way to get to work, no way to earn an income, now you and your family’s lives are at risk. Not to mention if you had a life threatening emergency, and needed to drive to a hospital, you’re stuck hoping an ambulance will get there in time. Of course, there’s also the risk that stealing your vehicle would also mean stealing your firearm, as many store theirs in their vehicle, no now you’ve got an armed robber.

      Relocation of horn doesn't prevent theft... instead install a hidden cutoff switch between the fuel pump circuit if fuel pump doesn't come on the engine will crank but will not start...no fuel no run...

    The Automakers do it so they are easier to steal, often requiring the purchase of a new vehicle. It doesn’t not speak well about the education of the automakers engineers making it so easy. It has the odor of automakers involved in insurance scamming.

    What the h-ll is wrong with auto manufacturers these days. Poor quality control, poor engineering decisions, lack of theft countermeasures. One of the best solutions would be to get rid of push button starting and bring backs keys with digital chips imbedded in them.
