Sorry to hear about your luck man. Fn dirtbags she’s a beauty too

There’s a star in Pleiades that we can’t see that watches your sh!t when punks wanna steal. That’s what I said last time and dude got his car back a few days later.

This is the only time you’ll hear me say this, but I hope she doesn’t have the ej. Only fools tryna joyride would steal an L body there’s no way you can outrun the cops and for certain the owner can spot her a mile away, all boxy and pretty among the current sea of capsules. If they have any sense they would know that right away. 
Plus the 4lo will get you far enough into the mountains for easy disposal of such garbage is what you should let them know if you ever get the chance.

Sheriff called a half hour ago; car found in Beaverton near Tektronix. I'll go out in the morning to recover.

I hope there’s little to no damage! 

Min my town there’s a known group of youths with a bunch of subaru keys. When they want to steal a brumby they go through the pile of keys they have until one pops the door open. 

Once in the key will usually operate the ignition lock - and off they go. 

Of the seven brumbys stolen that I’ve heard about, they were all returned relatively un-harmed except the last one that was torched  

Cheers

Car all cleaned up and back in service. This little "modern life" episode cost me 5 hours of my time - 2 work time hours; probably 4 man hours police time and an extra $22 for cab fare.

I'd really like to do a bait vehicle trap. I hate thieves.

I highly recommend using a steering wheel lock to deter the casual thief. An unfortunate necessity with an older vehicle.

I would put a remote switch that only u know about, that shuts power off to the column. No power, car won't start. 

And, yes, I hate thiefs too.

Is that possible on these old cars?

It's even easier on "these old cars"
