Anyone know this unlucky guy?

Most importantly, I would hope to discourage anyone from even trying to get in the van, but at the same time, I do not want them to do damage trying to get in.

So, let's say they are in, what now? I simple fuel switch, or something perhaps a notification to the owner saying the door switch has grounded? Or perhaps you just shock the shart out of them?

When I saw your title I was hoping that you were going to share some marital arts moves or something. Sorry can't remember what thread it was in. Have short memory problems.

You could give a driver 10 seconds to punch in a 4-digit code, or else:

That might make it hard to get valet parking for a fancy syncro, though. And it would be hard on your liability insurance premiums.
