Always drive a stick shift, no young person will be able to steal your car.

  True - a friend of mine worked in a dangerous part of the world and was car-jacked in a manual car. As soon as the car-jacker was behind the wheel they realised they couldn't drive the car and gave up.

    My brother had a stick shift. Kids broke into his car and proceeded to drive it 15 feet into a pole and abandon it. Whole thing was caught on camera too.

  Always pull the fuel pump fuse before leaving your car, then no one can ever even drive your car.

    I had a friend who's clutch switch failed. Like most cars, it wouldn't start because it couldn't detect that you'd depressed the clutch. He added a toggle switch under the dash instead of fixing the clutch switch. He figured it'd be some poor man's anti theft. I think it would have worked. It was pretty fun having friends try to move his car for a while.
