Hello all, 

I have had three cars stolen in the last 10 years. Corvette LT1, Porsche 928
and of all things a Toyota long bed.
Now I install an alarm in all my cars I do not use the little red blinking
light or the shock sensor. I leave my doors unlocked to hopefully save a
window or a convertible top. In my Delorean I installed a Toggle switch and
an bosh relay in line on fuse I believe #7 (fuel pump and something else) I
attached the relay harness to the existing relay block behind the passengers
seat. The toggle switch I used is a flush mount headlamp dimmer switch
mounted on the floor of the drivers side in the same place my older cars
have their dimmer switch's located. The switch is out of the way to avoid
accidental shutoff yet convenient to use. I do not like the idea of playing
with the inertia switch as mentioned previously on this thread, it was not
designed for the constant use (just my opinion).

Thanks

All this talk about anti-theft devices is daunting. There are several ways
to prevent your DeLorean from being stolen at a cost of couple of dollars to
FREE.

The free solution that requires no modification is to simply lift the reset
switch (plunger) at the inertia switch when you leave your car. If you want
to spend a couple of bucks you could simply install a toggle switch across
either the start inhibit relay or the fuel pump.
