You live In LA?!...better get a wheel locker too! All
kidding aside, a while ago i bought a Quorum
Immobilizer on Ebay for $10. its an
interupter/immobilizer key that must be inserted
before starting. It interupts the fuel pump, starter
and the coil, alot of wires so i have yet attempt to
install it. I might just have an installer do it. You
can see them here:

switch
