- Someone suggested removing the computer and carrying it with you.
- Someone else suggested removing the coil wire and carrying it with you. Both
- options seriously disable the car, although professionals could very easily
- start carrying spare coil wires and computers.

- At any rate, all but the most sophisticated thieves (read: all of the
- teenage joyriders in Newark, NJ) will be deterred by the above two methods.

- Note that the car CANNOT be started w/o both the computer and the
- coil wire in place. It has to be towed.
