most new cars, w/out the keys, it's more difficult then it is worth.
i hear one new thing thieves are doing is waiting at gas stations and getting into people's cars while they are pumping gas.
don't leave your keys in the ignition when you arepumping gas.
also beware of burglaries. they get into your house and take your keys off thehook and steal your car.

That's good advice. I need the keys to get the locking gas cap off though. Doesn't our active anti theft not alow it to be towed or jacked in some way?

If I wanted to I could have one taken in 10 minutes with no tow truck. Driven away. He probably got it towed jacked.

I say it cannot be started without
a programmed key. Now towing
it off is possable.

Anything can be stolen if the thief wants it badly enough.
Locks do nothing but keep the good people away

No programmed key, no starty unless you have access
to dealer programming tools.

tow truck driver theif on the head? Or a big claw that clamps the
car to the ground? Or a trunk full of murcury that makes the stang
too heavy to tow? Or locking pins in the hubs that makes him have
to drag it off?

You can alwats take out the fuel relay fuse...in the fuse box..
They can still tow it, but they will never start it..
Remember back in the day of my 91 GT i had one under the seat, i used to take it out, of couses the one night i didnt they stole it..

I will have a key already cut. And I have the tool needed to program a blank key. Thats why it would take 10 mins. Leave your car somewhere unchecked for 30 min and I'll show you.[sm=joke.gif]

Should I be scared or are you the exception?
