Dunno, we culled all the bears in the UK 500 years ago. All we have now is hedgehogs.

ECU programmed to a set of keys you have. Replacing the ecu takes less than a couple minutes. Programming the set just requires access to another evo ahead of time.

Edit: Err the above was a guess based on too many assumptions on how the immobilizer works in our cars, and I don't believe the above alone will work after learning a bit more.

I have a $3.oo anti theft device, and the only way someone is stealing my car is with a flatbed, I also have a 9mm security system. Do you feel lucky, well do ya...punk!

reminds me of watching CSI, all you need is for some theives to come on here with people giving advice on how to steal our cars. . A garage is the best form of anti-theft. Or an HK P30

Fu<k alarms... I'm going to go capture a puma and just keep it in the back seat. Keep a bowl of water back there... Would you steal a car with a puma in the back seat? Probably not....

Better yet, tint the windows, so then the thief thinks you have something to hide... Only thing I'd be hiding is a pissed off puma... All I need to do is find a puma and learn to tame it....
