Reply to "Engine Lid Lock"

Been a while since I've posted, but given how comical this thread is, I can't help it...

I don't have the data, but would assume that 99.9% of the desperate people or thieves out there these days don't even know what a carburetor is. Stealing the entire car is faster and requires fewer tools, so putting a lock on the engine bay feels like a wasteful insurance policy.

I'd put more focus on kill switches and other measures to make it harder to steal the whole thing, or just don't park it in shady areas for long periods of time.

...but hey, I probably just welcomed some bad karma and my carbs will get jacked this Spring!
