What you need is to mount a deadly gas under the dash that would "go off" when
you activate it, thus killing the intruder. The gas would dissipate long
before the police arrive. By the time the coroner figures out the thief died
of poisoning, the gadget would long have been pulled out. After all, they
wouldn't impound your vehicle because a thief was found dead near it. HA HA
