Best anti-theft strategies for Yaris without engine immobilizer?

[doginmyyaris]

As the name implied, other then to and from work, there was always a big black lab mutt sittin' in the back....with all the windows all the way down (watch the heat, people!)

Alas, after 17 1/2 years (!) I had to give my best friend an overdose of morphine IV after he shattered a very arthritic shoulder.

Back on topic...instead of a living theft deterrent, I now use an AUTOTASER. Made by the same "Taser" people that make the guns, and no longer on the market, it's "the club" with a "kick"!! Positioned over my DVD/stereo, that too becomes too painful to mess with.

....but I'd take the mutt-deterrent over the electronic-deterrent, anyday......

Aren't black labs generally too friendly for guard duty? I know my beagle isn't any kind of deterrent

Sorry about your dog though ...

The AUTOTASER thing reminds me of a friend. He kept getting his car broken into for his radio and he was just really getting tired of it. So when he installed his next radio, he strategically placed razor blades under the stereo.

You know it worked too, and there's always evidence an attempt however messy to clean up He used to keep his doors unlocked, and some idiot still broke his window, poor guy.
