    Over 20 years ago, my wife had a gemini that used a round push lock in the cabin (passenger side). You would push the lock in which sent pin attached to a cable through the bonnet latch, so that you could not open the bonnet. The second stage was that this same mechanism would also depress a cut off switch and that way, they could not get into the engine bay to fiddle with the wires. I live in Sydney and this car still had the original metal painted sun visor and was in excellent condition and was targetted by thieves quite a few times and each time they would destroy the door and ignition barrel, but could not start the car. you could probably make up your own. Good luck.
    p.s. at one point I was considering running a spark plug into the petrol tank so that when they did try to start it I could take out some marshmellows and enjoy the barbeque.
    have a look at this website, it looks very similar to what I had.

    Get a nice .45 cal desert eagle hand gun, discreetly place under steering wheel and get a line that runs from the trigger onto the clutch pedal so when then press the clutch in bang! see you later to the old fella. That way they can't reproduce any more of these thieving pricks! LMAO
    Just think of the mess lolololol

    Katrol has aftermarket immobolizer. ( Hubby had to call me and sit in for half hour before he worked out how to start it, even with the keys.)
    Dont know anything about it, but could dig around and post some pics next week? Is very touchy though. Put keys in pocket and Katrol starts screaming. Can be embarrasing

    I looked at a GPS Sat tracker but if you want to fork out over 2 grand plus on goings the shot gun would be cheaper. There is a tracker that uses the mobile phone signal but if the car goes out of range then good by car...............BANG!!!!!!!! is looking better...!!!!!!!!!

    I have rewired a kill switch from my starter motor hiding inside the cab (maybe ) and will be putting in a alarm... Biggest problem with theft these days is, if they want it they will take it....
    Good mate is a Federal cop, he says dot the basics...alarm,steering locking ect and they will move on to the next car....dont keep your gps units ect out so people can see them...but (as said) if they really want your car they will take it, and most of the time it for a joy ride and you will find it burnt out...
    one thing is to cover your number plate when you post pic on forums... there are few low lives that check these places out and its easy to get address from number plates...And while your sleeping they brake in roll the car down the driveway push it down the street and then bugger off....

    The problem is, looking around at most of our trucks, even without rego's you could still pick em on the street..
