    My 2000 EK got stolen and recovered. I'm looking for something that rookie
    thieves who just break in, break the ignition and use a screwdriver to start
    the car, cannot get started. I know that people can still tow a car if they
    want it bad enough. Thanks in advance.

    $200 at Best Buy got me a Blackwidow with ignition kill,installed.

    Yesterday,my alarm triggered it's warning chirp(not the full alarm) at 3:15
    AM,and I looked out a window and saw 2 guys walking around my
    Integra,shining a flashlight in the windows.I went out there and they
    fled,but later in the day,I noticed a 99 Honda 2dr coupe with it's door
    ajar,looked inside,and the stereo was ripped out of the dash,and the
    steering column cracked open. I believe they hit his car before they tried
    mine.I gave descriptions and a partial tag to the police,and the officer
    says it's a theft ring they've been trying to catch.

    I could have shot them,but unfortunately it's not legal in my state.

    The immobilizer has reduced a lot of amateur drive offs but nothing will
    stop vandalism, smash and grabs, and tow trucks.

  4. That is absolutely right, the immobilizer is only good for the drive off
    amateurs, the smashers, grabers, and bad tow truck divers can get the car
    disappear, if they wanted the vehicles so bad, .... then you know the result.
