On my MGB I have battery shut off, electric fuel pump shut off and coil shut off. Lots of luck if you can't find them or figure out the combination. Works well.



It is a MGB, there only a 33% that they can get it started and drive further then a mile w/o breaking down.

Common my car at one time had broken clutch cable and I could drive it without ever disengage the clutch. But then the hotest cars today have 2 clutches that are operated by the computer. (and yes they can be hacked too).

The trouble here is you all are not thinking like a thief, All they have to do is drag it onto a roll back truck and take it somewhere to do as they wish. The don't care if they damage it a bit !!

On an older Corvette I was looking at would start, then the salesman remembered after a few anxious moments that depressing the cigarette lighter would complete the ignition circuit. Wallah! it started right away..........

Never fails to amaze me the way crooks come up with their ideas!


When you do not have gainful employment, you don’t have time to conjure up some ways of stealing from hard working people. But if your sitting around not doing anything of value , you might as well steal. It is sad that the attorney general of this state won’t prosecute certain crimes. Gee, that means he won’t do the job he was hired to do. What a crock!!
