Kill Switch to kill a Thief
My idea is not to kill anyone. You would go to jail for murder. But it is a very nice thought.
I did have an idea though, which was to remove a critical component like the fuel pump fuse, or some integral fuse for the ignition. It would be pretty simple to relocate the fuse box so you don't have to pop the hood and show the world your engine every time. Kill switches can be bypassed, and alarms are expensive and don't always work. Their first thought would be a kill switch, and they would undoubtedly waste a lot of time looking for one. You could even install one to give them a small glimmer of hope. Make them waste even more time to figure it out. This is so simple it might actually work. Do theives carry a set of fuses for the car they intend to steal? And how much time are they willing to spend boosting a car. If I caught someone in my car I would bloody my fists beating their dirty face to a pulp.
Another idea would be to install a shut off valve in the fuel line. The car would start for a minute, but then die.
Or you could really mess with them and have all of the above a kill switch, shut off valve, alarm, missing fuses, and a tank of nerve gas that explodes.
...
The thought of some dirty piece of **** touching my car pisses me off to no extent...

I have my carloaded with explosives and setto detonate after the cars ignition has been turned on for more than20 seconds (timer), the car has moved more than 10meters(gps), the car has been inclined move than 5 degrees (fiber optic gyro), and/or theseat registers more than one kilogram of weight (scale.)
Due to security precautions, I can not reveal the last trigger, nor can I reveal the anti-detonation sequence...

kill switches are old school, and dont work half the time, theifs find them and they are off. you gotta get creative.
like make a "kill switch" that when you flip it, sound a insainly loud alarm, or better yet an air horn. that will scare the **** out of someone. can you imagine trying be quiet... your heart pounding cuz your stealing a car... then in the dead silence of night you flip a switch and a freaking fog horn goes off. your heart would litterally jump out of your chest.
that or make one that shocks the **** out of you when you flick it on.
do something creative.

ive had my car stolen and it sucks, but i had it coming... no alarm no nothing....... not even a measly club ... thieves can always find out how to take your car but be creative it may slow them down a lot... ui think a kill switch wired up to your fuel pump is a real good idea but you have to hide it well..... and if you really care get some lowjack or some gps tracking system

unfortunately i knew a cpl guys who boosted cars, they would carry extra ecu's fuseboxes, fuse's. They had never been caught and still boost alot of cars. A kill switch or shifter lock is your best bet.
I have an alarm and if anyone wants to buy it illl sell it, i also have door actuators so you can install it on your dx's

No, what you do is you hide a pistol under the dash (aimed at the seat, an option would be to aim it in the general direction of where the theive's family jewls would be), put an actuator on the trigger so when it moves it pulls the trigger then wire the actuator to the ignition wire under the dash and put it on a switch also so you can disable it. Before you leave your car then flip the switch on, if they try to hotwire the car then it will activate the actuator and the gun will go off. Just make sure you flip the switch off before you try to start the car.
