Amen. Any fool who thinks they gonna jump in my 37 year old B pickup and 
drive off has another think coming. It might be easy enough to hot wire, 
but getting the right combo of throttle and choke(gotta know how long it's 
been sitting) and finding first gear with that loose 3 on the tree would be 
a challenge, and then the 1/4" of clutch engagement range would bite 'em 
hard. Assuming they got it rolling and into the street(Armstrong power 
steering), they'd be good for about 15mph with little chance of finding 
second gear without a map and a winning lottery ticket. By which time I'd 
probably have caught them on foot....;)
