Anti theft wiring help needed

[mensanguy]

I am now concerned with someone stealing my TC since my snake has left for better things.  

  All it takes is a screwdriver to pop the steering column lock out, and off they can drive. 

Hot-wiring is easy in a car with carburetion, but TC s have fuel injection. and I am thinking about installing a disabling switch on the electrical line that powers the fuel pump.

 

Without the pump running, I don't see how it could be started at all. 

 

question:  Where is the best place to cut this wire and install the switch?

 

Not too familiar with TC wiring harness.

Better yet put a switch on the asd relay, It will kill all power to the pump ignition and injectors. An old school cheat is to tap into the neutral safety switch, No crank=no start.

I worry about this too , I even went to putting a heavy chain around the seat base to the steering wheel !   Learned that from my rental car in Brazil , 

This stops most people  but I found the guy who was also stealing Cat converters and had his battery Sawsall  with him to cut a chunk out of the steering wheel ring !

 

I did have an Airtag in it and the police found it 10 minutes after I called them !

Pre- airbags I had a guy that worked for me and his previous job was in NYC and he took his steering wheel into the office with him.

there was a fancy removable steering wheel sold in the 1990s that came with its own briefcase with cut-outs to hold the wheel rim like a handle......

You could always get yourself a removable steering wheel for a NASCAR or other race car. Then you could be real COOL.

Vice grips can be used if the thief wants it bad enough. Keeping it from not starting/running in the first place is better.
