get a sticker made that has a lightning bolt on the bottom and says lowjack. a small sticker and put it on the drivers' side window. a switch on the fuel pump is the easiest to do i think.

you can break into a civic with a liscence plate, or you could even just use the window trim. your best bet is to have a alarm, a 2 way maybe. and then i guess if you want, a kill switch or two.

the dead bolt on ht looked pretty good. but it's just a deterent.
there's the removable steering wheel.
the battery key thing.
the autolock for the brake pedal.
pulling your external coil wire.
removing the ecu.

could also do an inline fuse from the fuse box to the ecu. Pull the fuse and viola no power to the ecu= car ain't moving unless it's being towwed. Just hide the fuse good. Also try the removealbe steering wheel hub.

Remove the ECU.. it takes about 5 seconds, and after you've done it like 500 times the plugs get nice and easy to take out.

Carry your spark plug wires around with you. Pull your ECU, pull fuses, have the standard auto lock + alarm + remove face plate of your stereo. Those are a few things you can do to make sure your car doesn't get taken. If someone wants it really bad though, they'll tow it off... =(

Ive got a fuel pump kill switch, on October 5th when they tried to steal my car, they got it started by it looks like jamming something into the ignition, I was in a parking lot and the car didnt get far.

Called the cops in the morning and my car was just parked down the street. I didnt even fix my ignition, I can still get the key in no problem (holes bigger lol)

But they keyed it and ---- probably after it stalled so that sucked
