Prevent Truck from being Stolen?

[Toddbo34]

My new F350 is here and where I live they are a very hot item for the scum bag thieves. I wanted someone to give me advice on how or where to install a hidden kill switch on my 6.4 powerstroke.

Our home was just robbed on 6-11-09 so right now I am in the secure mode to try to prevent anything else from being taken.

I have a dealer installed alarm system, and it works very well. It senses shock, and triggers an alarm if someone were to hit it, or break the window or something like that. It will also tell you if it was sent off while you were gone with the light on the dash. It also kills power to the starter while it is armed, and best of all it works with your existing key fobs.

I highly recommend a good quality alarm system, and installing JimmiJammers. These go in the door and prevent prying under the handle which gains access to the lock rods, and from breaking out the lock itself (I have these both installed, because I live in Los Angeles, and the crime here is F'ING ridiculous). Sorry about the home invasion, I hate thieves and Vandals with a passion!!!! Here is the JimmiJammers website..

Vehicle Security and Theft Prevention Devices

I was really looking for something simple like hiding a toggle switch that shuts off the fuel pump or starter.

Our house was robbed during broad daylight hours. They got over 20K of our belongings. Some of my favorite guns and all of my wifes jewelry are gone. Probably to Mexico according to the police.

Do a search for Revelco or Ravelco (not sure on spelling exactly). Haven't gotten it myself yet, but there have been a few threads about it and it appears to be very cool and un-circumventable.

I'd be buying the very highest payout insurance policy I could find, and then be getting myself and my wife concealed carry permits. Then I'd buy 3-4 good quality game cameras. Perhaps a security cam as well.
Sorry to hear about your losses. I have a real issue with thieves. I would not hesitate to weight them down with lead if they give me the reason.

Theives infuriate me. Someone siphoned 20+ gallons of fuel out of my truck last week. I'd like to have caught them in the act. I think I'd have gone "Eastwood" on them.
