I had a friend in high school with a Monte Carlo and the p.o. had put in a
switch hidden under the dash by the steering column. He flipped the switch
before starting it and he'd flip it back when he turned it off thus
disabling the ignition(?). He used to toss the keys at people and tell em
"if you can start it, you can have it" and no one could figure it out. Is
this a possibility? BTW I have a 200lb Old English Mastiff as my alarm but I
can't teach him to call the cops and he sure as h*ll won't bite anyone (not
that I'd want him too! ouch!!).
