Alfa theft inhibition



In AD7-648 Ascher Baer wrote:
"someone mentioned disabling a fuel pump to prevent theft.  what about 
disconnecting a battery terminal?  for most thieves a car that won't start 
immediately means moving on to the next one, not getting under the hood (or 
trunk lid) to find the problem.

"one of the overpriced car trinket catalogs i have has a device that connects 
between the terminal and battery.  to disable the battery you simply unscrew 
a large knob that breaks  the connection"

In AD7-649 Michael Williams added:
"Only problem is it is damned inconvenient to pop the hood everytime you stop 
somewhere to spin off that part.  With a cleverly hidden switch inside the 
car it can become an easy routine to disable the car when you leave it."
