He’ll fire it up and back out of your driveway, but he’ll run out of fuel in the middle of the street, panic and run. Your car is safe.

It might sound crazy, but your car will be recovered without damage from them breaking into it.

Get yourself a wireless camera system. It’ll alert you on your phone of them breaking into your garage.

Good idea. I am sure you could use my cutoff switch for a fuel pump or a ZR-1. On the '67 I had to cut off the gas. --Bob
