If said pikey has hoiked a half brick through your window and grabbed the keys then the immobiliser idea is spoiled.

In which case he needs to buy a fuel cut off solenoid and hide the switch

ps. This thread is useless without pics.
The best immobilisers were on the old Citroën Peugeot cars. You had to insert a pin number to activate the ECU and the fuel pump.

I have just spent one hell of a lot of money on a fleet of performance cars and naturally looked into this. The legal implications of a car being disabled on a public highway are not great. When I spoke to our insurers, they suggested deleting Keyless go on our vehicles at order as they felt that keyless go put our clients at a higher risk of assault.
Invest in a good GPS/GSM tracker AND place it yourself. Alternativley carry the fuel tank in a backpack.

Would welcome any good answers. I'm three sheets to the wind but I can generally be relied upon to spot a gap in the market.

So say some pikey nicks it off my drive intending to strip it down for bits, the device just goes "Can't detect [fob], shut down". Pikey runs away in his dark sportswear.
Anyone know if this has been developed yet?
