A good thief can steal anything from you at any time. Nothing you
do will deter them if they are determined to steal your car. Locks don't;
the Club won't and alarms are a joke. I realize all of this.
A bad thief (i.e., stupid, drunk or juvenile) MAY ( I say again,
MAY) be deterred from cracking your steering column and taking the B for a
joy ride if there is "something" there that makes him/her (equal opportunity
employer) think it is going to be more trouble than it's worth. A flashing
LED in plain view when the top is down, just might do the trick. And,
according to the original post, the price was right (cheap).
TTFN !
