I'm wondering if this plus the club would make a decent 1-2 punch to keep them from taking off in our truck. Have any of you pulled the fuses regularly? Has this caused you any electrical problems? I just talked to my husband about that, and he's worried that this would mess up our electrical and leave us stranded.

I know on my owners manual it has a break down of the fuse box (what fuse is for what system). I would think you would want to find one for the fuel pump. Don't have mine handy so can't tell you. But I know I wouldn't want to be doing that regularly for fear of messing something up; what I don't know but it can't be good constantly pulling it in and out. Honestly, you would be better off getting a quality alarm installed by a reputable shop.

I can tow a camper just fine with my F150

Car alarm with an ignition cut off installed by a reputable store? Seems like the alarm you had was enough to scare them away but I'm guessing it doesn't have any sort of protection against "hot wiring" the vehicle? Also what's the model and year of your Ford? Does it have PATS? The "clubs" merely slow down someone wanting to steal the truck. I've seen plenty of videos of people hack sawing through the steering wheel and removing the club that way.

Can't remember any recent vehicles I've owned that have had a glove compartment lock (or maybe I haven't paid attention). Have you given any thought to a console vault? I have a gun locker in my truck under the rear seat that I use to store my rifle/shotgun when I go out of town plus lock up my laptop and any valuable should I need to. It's hidden by the seat and not visible from outside of the vehicle. Just a thought.
