    Hey i am thinking of removing my starter fuse on one of my
    Vehicles as a form of
    Anti theft.

    what are your thoughts, or ideas?

    apparently crooks like to attempt and steal my vehicles. I want to prevent that from happening.

    A hidden kill switch would likely be an easier option to toggle on/off. Unless you just don't drive this vehicle very frequently.

    True^, any thoughts on just removing the entire battery? Or removing battery cables and installing dummy cables?

    I like my good old fashioned wheel lock but I think Masterlock stopped making them so you have to buy the Club brand, which is not as good and more expensive.

    But used a kill switch on my personal vehicle for the fuel pump. When I sold my personal vehicle, the Killswitch actually saved the new owner from theft.
