Has anyone tried hooking up a remote door lock thingy to either an electric
fuel pump or one of those electric valves Randall mentioned? The are
available from JCW for 20 bucks, easy to use unobtrusively and even if some
did see you lock your fuel supply, they would have to do a lot of head
scratching to figure oput how to unlock it without the "key" and by that
time you would be back.
