Didn't know where to post this exactly, but I want to know the best way to keep your car from getting jacked. Not so much worry over Celicas, but cars at my college do get jacked. Just for future reference, what are the best ways to keep that from happening? Ignition kill switches? Can you have more than one? Removing the steering wheel (I have seen a guy do that before)? Getting an alarm and locking the steering wheel? I am very confused when it comes to this stuff, but I want to know the best way if not, the most time consuming way (the time it takes for one to be successful at jacking the car if not totally preventable).

Thanks

I was watching this new show on A&E called Jacked. They do a pretty good job at recovering cars (at least the ones they show). The only thing is all the cars that they recover have Lo Jack on them. I would say (personal opinion) Lo Jack is your best bet as far as getting your car back if it does get stolen.

Aside from that you can at least get an alarm. Most alarms (from what i've seen) kill the starter when the alarm is going off. So if someone where to break into your car they would have to disable the alarm before the car would start.

Just keep in mind that nothing is 100%....
