Congratulation Norm.

That is just the kind of "new idea" thinking that I look for in this
digest. 

Would't work for smokers ( but no one wants to steal a stinky car anyway
- - sorry ).

Thanks for a neat idea - I will use it on my mother-in law's car.

It is an excellent alternative to the "kill switch in the glove box" -
which is so common that that is where any good thief will look first.
