My father purchased a used '62 Corvette in the late 60's. He worked in the=
insurance industry & he heard that 90% of all Corvettes were stollen somet=
ime in their lives, in Chicago, where we lived. His solution was to install=
a manual shut off valve in the fuel line. The valve was hidden behind the =
drivers seat & operated by a "T" shaped handle which was removable. His the=
ory was that if someone broke in thru the canvas top & hot wired the igniti=
on, they would only get a block or 2 before the engine would die. The crook=
would panic & run away.Gary H=C2=A0
