cdowns makes an excellent point and one that should be considered!!!

I was driving an old Vette once that caught fire and I pulled over and ran through this guys gate and grabbed his hose and that saved the day not to mention the Vette. Wire harness made contact with the manifold and that is all it took. Point is a lock would have cost me the Vette. If a guy really wants to steal your ride he's going to take it. At best all you can do is slow him down.

Oh by the way from my experience this brings a new meaning to the word "PANIC."

esll.
