Not bad- it would drain the battery and then start to shut down. Even if
the switch were discovered the car would fail to restart due to lack of
battery power. Downside is I think I can drive quite a ways on the
battery if the lights aren't used or it's not raining. Good stuff is it
let's the crook get away from the driver (assuming a threat to physical
self was at hand) and leaves car in a state that could be glided to the
curb for later retrieval.

Keep in mind, needs to be Non-mis-trigerable.
