Uh, about the feeling safe about someone breaking into car cause the doors are hard to unlock... you know, most car thieves will just break the window (they dont care).

About theft prevention. I believe the MOST effective method is the one I use. I hooked up a wire to my negative coil(or you can use the wire that goes to the tach)to a switch that grounds it. When the switch is on(the wire is grounded), the engine wont run(the coil is grounded, no sparks)). Use a small switch and route it to someplace hidden but easily reachable when you get in or out of your car. This works excellently! even if someone spent the time to hotwire your car, the engine still wouldn't start. Plus you can legally claim it as "Active Disabling" lower your rates slightly.
