On fuel-injected cars I always pulled the fuel pump relay (these were all
American cars with the relay either accessable under the dash or under hood.
I think pulling the rotor (which is what I do with my '6) is good enough
(unless
you've been targeted by some sort of professional, but then again there's
nothing
you can do about that).
Right now if some one wanted to steal my TR6 it would take them about three
trips
to get it all.....
