Some of our local members had their house broken into a few years ago. Their
Healey, which was left with the key in the ignition, was found outside the
garage with the switch on and booster cables on the battery. It seems the
thieves could't figure out the starter button on the left side of the dash.
Maybe we should think of it as an anti-theft device. No telling the result if
it had to be choked as well.
