Disconnect the brake lines tomorrow night! It might be a hassle and I doubt it'll work out best for you. But it'll give the theif a bad day! lol

Can't you just store the car somewhere else?

Why do you think someones going to steal it?

Check stock and reserve online pick up tomorrow.

But if they really want your car it won't stop them.

Remove the plug leads that should stop them taking it. Problem is they might just end up trashing it if they can't take it

theres no real way to stop people if they really want it... you coulds always leave it at a friends for tonight, while you sort out a better system or something... or disonnect and remove ECU, put a block of wood under the break pedal, remove spark plug leads... and chain the wheels up or soemthing... something that is gonna be a real ball ache to sort on the spot, unless you know what the problem is... something like that...
