On my 2010 Expedition, the run/start relay, for example, is one of 9 identical relays in a row, some of which are seldom used and others aren't used unless a trailer is connected. The truck won't run if that relay, or any of several others, is defective or missing. It's very easy to notice a missing relay and just take another one and move it into the slot of the missing relay, and crank it right up. If you want security, replace an essential relay with an identical one that is disabled. Most thieves would never figure out the source of that problem in the time available for the theft.

Better still, just live on the streets like in San Francisco or Los Angeles where you don't have to worry about transportation, baths, toilets, food/water, or welfare checks (they will always be there for you); or, if you can pull it off, act like an illegal alien and go to sanctuary towns/cities where you will be treated like kings, given 3 squares daily, free transportation, an easy job is your so inclined and all the modern conveniences that 'taxpayers' can provide. Yes, become an illegal alien where the living is fine (and free from state or government prosecution.

So then the thief shows up with a tow truck and away it goes. They don't care if it starts or not. It's all parts and that's where the money is. I had a junk car removed once. It was parked, dead, behind a fence. Guy showed up with a HIAB, smashed the windows, threw a strap through, and hoisted it out and onto the back of his flatdeck truck. Gone in ten minutes. New car? Same thing. Guy shows up with a truck with a slap-on magnetic logo on it, who will even think to question it? Nobody wants the hassle of dealing with a nasty mean towtruck guy.

Cripes Scotty, I can barely remember where I put my keys half the time No way I'm going to remove a fuel injection relay to outsmart some car thief. highly unlikely anyway for my good old, but dated, '03 Volvo V40even if I leave the key in the ignition )Oh and BTW: if I throw a stone from my front patio, I can almost break a window in the main city police HQ, yet our garage has been broken into four times in the last 10 years. And even with a video of the thief-at-work, our 'crime-fighters' showed little to no interest.

What kind of car thief takes the time to check a fuse box for anything? All fuse boxes have unused slots, unless they study a model how the hell would they know? You could just leave it loose in there or install a switch between a important wire for starting. I had a 96 ranger that had a broken wire from previous owner into the ignition switch and I just worked in a heavy duty toggle switch and mounted it under the dash. Everything turns on but doesn't send power to the starter

You can pop out another switch that you always leave on, A/C for instance, place that switch inside the dash where it will simply be left switched on, and replace said switch with a duplicate that will actually function as a kill switch. It's simple and easy to defeat if you know about it, but a thief is not going to think 'maybe I have to turn the A/C on the make the car start. '

When I had my modded Camaro years ago it was converted to run on an an ACCEL ECU that connected to original wiring harness with an adapter. I had it under dash so I could reach up and pull out ECU when I parked car. I used to take the ECU with me. Many more years before that I used to take the rotor out of the distributor on my 61 Bug, and take it with me. Engine cover was also locked.

You are right about making it difficult to steal. The hardest it is; The less chances to get it stolen. Old time ago some people just to steal a heavy metal plate out of my house, and it was a problem for me, because I couldn't get in to my parking garage. So what I end up doing is to put all kind of screws on the cover with all kind of different screws heads. That solved the problem.
