Another method is to relocate the battery into the trunk. If they know what they're doing, they could pop open the hood, or even drill through the fender at very low speeds that would minimize the grinding, cause the battery to puncture and leak the fluid out.

A kill switch is one of the best ways... ive had one on my bimmer.... and also an idea im going to be doing is
Since I have an aftermarket steering wheel all I need is this hub which LOCKS and need a key for you to put a wheel in.. I would leave my wheel turned all the way with no steering wheel.... this will make my car much harder to steal... there are some ways but im not telling

iw as at a place that had a trespassing speaker and when it picked u up on motion it was like leave within 15seconds or police will be notified... u can always do cameras and put signs up at the end of your driveway... that would work well, spot lights are always good. anyway to scare the ****ers away... put a car cover over it and duck tape it to a marked part of the tire that way u know if it was touched or not too... theres plenty of ways my imagination can come up with.. i live in amish country so theres no issues out here...

s2k is pretty easy to steal.........a couple things you can do to "HELP" is obviously get an alarm......anything from DEI (viper, clifford). get the back up battery, hood and trunk pins, motion sensor (especially if its a convertable) and tilt sensor. the most important thing about the alarm is the install itself. if you can hide the alarm and wires as much as possible it will help with detering thieves. if anything try the auto-lock. you know that as seen on TV lock that locks the brake or clutch pedal.

my s2k was stolen, which was probably towed because you need a key for the ecu just like our evos. What i would worry more about is that if they jack the seats by cutting open the top. All you can do is get an alarm, use the auto lock and hope for the best.
