95 neon weekend anti-theft

I have a 95 2 door Neon that is going to be left in the driveway for
the weekend while I am out of town. Now there has already been
attempts to steel the car within the last two weeks, and I am looking
for some ideas to prevent this while I am gone for the weekend.
The previous attempts where halted by the fact that this car was
parked between the garage and my other car and the people attempting
to steel it did not have enough room to get the car out. (But oh did
they try)
Nothing like finding it almost completely sideways in the drive way.
Unfortunately I am unable to put the car in the garage for the
weekend, and I will be using the other car, so I am looking for some
ideas to make sure there is still a car in the driveway when I get
back from the weekend.
I have considered removing the entire steering wheel.( This would be
way too much effort on my part, but it would be funny)
Any ideas?

Take the coil wire with you

 

Take 1 or more wheels off?
Remove the battery?
Leave it at an airport parking lot?

Where d'you live anyway. Part of what City, roughly?
Just curious. Sounds like a hard-up place.

 

Take the coil wire with you

BZZZTTT!

Any piece of cheap vacuum hose will take the place of the coil wire. (Easy bar
bet for free beer!)

Take the ROTOR!

 

It is funny, you ask, as I live in a newer part of Woodbridge. Figured
that by moving outside of the city (Toronto), that I would be away
from this stuff. I have known from past experience with another car in
another town, that if they try once and fail, they will be back in
time and try again. I am thinking that I will take the two front tires
off the car, and also the shifter. I am going to be returning from the
weekend with a short shifter for the car anyway. Hard to drive a
standard with no shifter.

Removing parts from the Neon won't stop the thieves, these cars have got
valuable in the last few years to the kids who like to rice them up. (I
call it
"uglifying them") If they can get the car freed up they will tie a rope to
it and
tow it off.

Your best bet is to put in some outdoor motion-sensitive lights, some
pointed at
the car and others pointed at the driveway, and get an alarm system for the
car
itself.
