You could just move to here where nobody steals Vw Vanagons. (BTW, I happen to have a house for sale!) Keys to all my cars are on the dash! (Well, not the 911, it's on the floor.) Having said that, I agree that under the seat or dash would be most effective. anything else would get noticed or you'd stop doing it sometime before the Carat got stolen. I also figure that darn near all car thieves are young punks that don't know how to drive sticks. that makes me a bit safer. And even most Vanagon people would not get my diesel Vanagon started- timing's so retarded it won't even start HOT without pulling out the knob.
