the latest wheeze amongst the more resourceful car theft gangs is to load your vehicle onto a flatbed truck, drop it off in a remote area / car park and see if anyone comes to claim it. this is why trackers are not an entirely terrible idea. presuming they don't find the thing and bin it prior to setting off. tho even doing this will send off an alert.

My mate had his M235 stolen and they did exactly that, apart from the flatbed. They stole it, ragged it for an hour to some road in the middle of nowhere and then left it. Police were a bit shit but my mate rang BMW and they told him where it was, he had to drive to it then phone the police to say he'd found it.

I don't think my Dolly would have passed the 'desirability test' for such an effort... I like to think that the manual choke would have acted as an additional killswitch for the younger car thief :)

I had one in my Dolomite Sprint that I recently sold... though that was so insecure that you could get into it just by looking at it so it kind of made sense.
I think you're better off with something visible, to stop them trying to get in in the first place, though a little flickswitch somewhere isn't too much effort to add / use I guess.
