Nothing beats the PATS system.
Short of a underhanded Ford Tech
who steals Ford vehicles. Highly
unlikely. Or replacing the PCM and
it having the same as built data.
Back to the Ford Tech turned theif theory.
Nothing beats the TowTruck approach
except Lo-Jack and then that needs
to be activated and activly searched
down by Lo-Jack equipped patrol cars.
Non-existant in my local cities.
A fuel-cut-off-switch is pointless because
you have to get past the PATS system and
if you have done that then fuel-cut-off-switches
are childs play for the theif.
Keep both sets of keys secure AT ALL TIMES.
This is your best defense against theft.

Nothing beats CCTV and an armed guard.

A thousand thanks for your suggestions!! I realize a pro can take the car of his/her choice but I want some additional security and it looks like the LoJack or the Mobile Angel GPS might be the best options (other than a Doberman in the front seat). Never heard of the Mobile Angel GPS system. Looks like about $1,000.00, will check into actual cost, installation, annual service fee's etc. Thanks again. Always get the best information on this forum!![8D]
