This was way too close to home and now has me thinking about ways of securing my truck, there's no room in the garage so that's out. I've scoured Pirate and there's a lot of good ideas; kill switches, hidden igition switches, fuel pump cutoffs, etc, etc, etc... I kind of like the idea of a tire boot, pain in the arse but it would at least keep someone from simply pushing out the driveway. Anyone ever tried to tackle something like this?
interesting.... and sucky too.
options.
1) buy one $300-400 clams,
2)Make one, would seem easier
3) buy heavy chain, weld to a post and lock with a high security lock. sink post into ground and obviously cement in place.
4) what about pulling the EFI fuse or some other key fuse?
Seems pretty crazy to steal a high profile vehicle like that.

Pulling the EFI fuse would certainly keep it from running, not a bad idea at all.
BUT, I'd like to render the truck immobile and the only way I see doing that is with a mechanical lock of some sort. I know a trailer and a winch will defeat me but I have to be reasonable, can't protect against everything. Most chains are too easy to defeat so that's out.

Before we got our cute little pit bull, Jessi, I had a wolf hybrid when I lived in Florida. He caught a bad guy that had just robbed a liquor store and was making his get-away through the canals and back yards in the area. There was a SWAT team in the street and a helicopter searching. Sparky heard him, ran out in the yard through his doggy-door, and latched onto this dude's thigh. I ran out front and got the SWAT leader; he comes in back and says, "if anybody asks, it was our dog that got him; you got a good dog there."yeah yeah yeah

Sparky weighed 175 and looked like a hell hound. I loved that dog.

wire the coil to the body when anybody touches the door handles or truck body they we think that lighting hit them. you can wire in a wireless remote to turn it off and on. 
Saw this gizmo at Summit Racing on Saturday. Kind of like a boot device for $60
Probably wouln't work on big tires, but I thought of this thread when I saw it.

I had a wolf hybrid up until a few years ago. She lived a long happy life and was by far the best dog we've ever had... and sweet as she was, no one would EVER have come into our house uninvited. She was small in comparison... only 125#. I'll have another some day though they are harder to find now that the legality of breeding them is gone, in GA at least. Doesn't help with keeping your truck in the driveway though
And I thought our dog was big at 97 lbs
