I've heard of someone replacing the 2-position (on/off) wiper switch with
a 3-position - a la headlights. First register is 'run', second is
wipers.
I think maybe some psychological weapons might help. A big rottweiler
collar dangling from the mirror. A book with title like "How to stop
maiming stupid car thieves" on the passengers' seat.
Or that voice-command thing we had a short thread on some time back...
when the alarm goes off, it pumps out 150 watts of a voice shouting "Help!
Help! Someone's stealing meee!!!"
