however :-
1. STOP SHOUTING!!!
(Caps Lock OFF)
2. I would recommend removing the link to the photo, on the basis that any thief worth their salt would recognise where this fuse resides.....
Good idea though

It all helps i suppose, but if these ******* can by-pass a cat 1 immobilser then this will not pose much of a problem. But in saying that the longer you can delay the scum the better.

Thomo, while i agree this will help against the scum that nick your car keys from the house, i still don't think it will beat the more skillfull type of scum that are able to get round cat 1 immobiliers and the like. This is what they do for a living and they must know all about the electrical systems of the cars they are targeting. It's sad but true.

A good idea, also take off a HT lead. Fair enough if your cars targeted over a while they will buy a lead, but 9/10 they wont have a lead that fits.
OR- sleep in your car/buy a bad *** dog and let it use your scoob as a hut

This is probably one of the best devices ever - http://www.fundraise.org.uk/immobiliser.htm
Only £38, surprised not more people have them. You have to touch 2 metallic points before you can start the car - the points can be anywhere, so a dashboard screw, door handle screw etc.

Why not just drop the engine out, that'll stop them.
Just think though, if someone wants to nick your car, and they are stupid enough to break into your house to take the keys, who says they'll not be stupid enough to come back into your house and ask questions about why the car won't start? I'd prefer it if they just drove the car away than risk some hooligan theiving scum come and threaten to break my wifes legs if I don't get the car started for him.
Just a thought.

Remember the reason behind removing the fuse is because its simple to remove and hidden from view.OK its only fullproof if they dont have that particular fuse (which they wont) .To be honest there will be owners that wished they had done sadly.This idea was only intended to stop thieving scum.The thieving scum also hate them big yellow steering locks.

If they want it they will come back in the house with a sawn off shotgun and demand you start it, like others have said maybe a good idea away from your house.

Had any of you went out like I said and bought a rip-snorting RWD retro classic, you could simply have removed the coil lead!
So what about that then, missus?
yours,
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemmerrrrrrrrr!

Thatcham 1 approved alarm as standard, and a disklok, for as a member said "a visual f@@k off, and a mans best freind, you've got it right!!! a barking dog (they pick up a moth fart from 80 paces) If your not a pet lover try sleeping in the hallway as a deterent, im sure no one will even try it on this way. BEST OF LUCK.
