After getting my service truck broken into in Houston, last March, I've been thinking of adding some type of anti-theft device. The break-in was a smash and grab and the OEM alarm was going off with people standing around watching a couple of hood-rats carting my stuff off, so I don't expect to stop/deter a smash and grab. I'm more interested in stopping a vehicle theft.
I'm toying around with a Ravelco kill switch system, essentially a novel type of kill switch. This prevents anyone from jumping in and starting it. However, I'm wondering if most thefts aren't actually someone hauling your vehicle off with a flatbed/wrecker, meaning preventing starting it is a moot point.
Anyone have any experience or recommendations?
