My brother has a weird system in his old '86 Ford Laser (Australia).
Engine won't start unless you touch a small inoccuously placed rivet with
your finger.  I admit I have no idea how this works.

Had a double-take when I first saw the subject-line, too - I thought, "Now
who's advocating Grand Theft Auto on our Piclist?" <g>

I'd have to disagree with the "no-one steals an old bomb" statement.  My
'84 Telstar is shabby and shot through with rust, but it got nicked and
used in a small-time robbery before being returned to the car-park it was
in and another Telstar stolen as the getaway car.  I think my club-lock
would have deterred this type of thief if I'd actually used it  :-/

Cheers,
-Dave.
