Gone in 60 seconds? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Seems to me that the Yaris immobilizer is pretty effective. The injectors won't inject and the sparkplugs won't spark unless the chipped key is in the ignition. I suppose that a thief could use a tow truck or flatbed to simply haul the car away, or they could stick a gun in my ribs and steal the key, but they're not going to just hop in and start it up with a screwdriver, which is the typical drug addict car thief method around here.
