Default Don't drive your car!
Seriously....if a thief wants your car, there is little you can do.

If you REALLY wanted to park some place and ensure your car was not stolen, remove the ECU. Then they would need a flatbed to take your car.

Default It's a sure fire way. If one practices ecu removal...
It becomes second nature.
