Darrel,

That thought  occurred to me.  But then, it wouldn't take much ingenuity to
steal my Scout anyway.    Come to think about it, aren't we making our
Scouts easier to steal by adding the remote solenoid?  All the thief needs
now is the jumper you mentioned, plus a real short one from the solenoid's
battery input over to the "S" terminal?   We're making all these jumper
connections more accessible.   Geez, maybe I should be thinking about a
hood lock since the 800's hoods can be opened without entering the vehicle.

  Nope, 800's don't have locking columns.
