Kill switch here I come. If they still end up stealing it after that then they deserve it I guess.

I was actually looking to install a kill switch but not sure how difficult it is to do it. Has anyone here done it?

Most here have done it but not many are going to talk about it. For how simple it is, it's a pretty good measure. Most people put it on their fuel pump and hide the switch in an area out of sight. If the switch is off and a thief tries to take the car. It means no power to fuel pump and car won't start. It's just going to delay the process a bit until he/she figures out the switch, or until they tow the car away.

Until you go to jail for murdering someone over a $20,000 car... then it's probably a moral victory but ultimately a lose-lose situation.
