I've got an 'easy to nick car' too (read 'old') and although they haven't actually worked out exactly how to yet (I've got a short circuit arrangement with the starter motor) they certainly have tried and made a mess in the process (broken steering lock, nicked battery, nicked front headlights and bumper !!) It's sod's law - those who don't have new, latest, expensive cars usually have third party insurance, they're not company cars and unfortunately they're the easiest to nick. The pathetic little stinking weevily buggers can't work out the new hi-tec electronic gadgets in new cars. The car manufacturers certainly need to invent some sort of anti-theft device that works !! How difficult can THAT be in this day and age for goodness sake ....!?!?!?! Tough luck Tom (but I like the mouse trap idea ....!)
