All the gizmos, U/S movement detection, I/R heat detection, Vibration/shock detection, door detectors, immobilisers etc etc And this kind of arming scheme would slot in very neatly ! One more idea for those with electric fuel pumps on their cars instead of mechanical ones. Have a silent alarm circuit disable the pump, so that the car thief will get the car started and can drive it for some time but then it runs out of fuel and will not start again. Of course, the car can still get cannibalized... You could also add an electrically controlled valve into the fuel line. -- /* * * Otto J.
