Easiest Way to Disable Car for Stolen Keys - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hey guys, this is maybe a bit for my own paranoia and a kind of interesting thought experiment. I've lost a master key in my apartment complex and it's going to take until next week until the dealer can erase it.

Assuming a clever car thief, what's the best way to disable the car? (Pulling fuses, wires, etc.)

Anything you can do honk to do they can think to undo if they really want too. Personally I would pull the starter relay from the box under the hood. Of course if they figure it out they could go get one but it would probably be more trouble than the casual joy rider that found your key would go through.

Take out the battery and keep in your apartment

Hello q335r49 and welcome to our forum......

........that's for being careless with your car's key ........

To satisfy your paranoia, you may consider getting a "club" and attaching it to the steering wheel.

Airbags so you can slam the car while parked so no one can tow it away.

And massive camber so that nobody in their right mind would want to drive it anyway.

I suggest, if you want to do something useful, go over to BC and volunteer to fight the forest fires ....... the smoke ya'll are sending down this way is choking up our pristine atmosphere ........
