When I bought an '85 Sunbird the dealer had a little box under the dash that kept the car from starting until you turned on one of the accessories, lights, turn signal, heater switch, etc. I talked him into leaving it on the car when I bought it. I still have it and had it on my Nova and plan to use it on the Chevelle. Not foolproof, but the thief may give up if it won't start right away. I have seen them advertised somewhere. Maybe other dealers have them to discourage theft from their lot and may sell one.

I agree with Tim.  Every second counts. 
 
You can never make your car, house, or anything else completely theft proof.  If someone really wants it, they can get it.  About the best you can do is, increase the noise and time it takes to get the item.  Time and noise are the downfall of a thief.  My attitude is, make it hard enough so the thief will go somewhere else.  The club will certainly do that.
 
Tim's response got me to think though.  A hidden brake lockout switch.  I'm current doing a 53 F100.  The lockout is going to be an addition.

Mr. Mark,

I use to drive my Chevelle everyday. Dont get me wrong, I always thought about it when I left it, but I just made sure to park under a light, and away from cars, etc. Im sure everybody has seen the commericals where if the car had a club, they just cut the steering wheel...But I still put on one...People will say whats the point? They are just going to cut the steering wheel and take it off. But you know what? If it takes them an extra 10-15 seconds to get that club off, I feel that its worth it to me. I use the club, and the one the goes on the brake pedal, a hidden kill switch, and I use to have an alarm, till it broke. But, thats my opinion....15 seconds is better than no 15 seconds to me....just my two cents.
