Making a car difficult to steal

Seems like the "personal boot", tracker and a cut off switch is the trifecta. If there was a way to run a stock steering wheel that was quick disconnect, that might send a message to "move on" as well.

At some point you might collect so many options that you would end up with a 7 min starting process. But it beats the feeling of getting your **** stolen. That's the worst.

A set of wheel dollies or tow truck skates and the lock boot and disconnect don’t mean a thing. Gets dragged onto a rollback or into a trailer and away it goes.

A cut off or simple ignition ground switch is plenty for stopping a joy rider. Clubs and wheel boots and all that crap are meaningless to real thieves.

I feel like too many of these things are for people that have watched “gone in 60” too many times. Fun movie, but real thieves targeting classics are gonna show up looking more like tow truck drivers or the repo man.

Or steal the entire tow rig and trailer with the classic already loaded up near a show or event.
