Pull fuel pump fuse for theft deterrence?

Anyone ever try this DIY kill switch? Probably safe to do, but you never know with these high tech computers. Thoughts?
Thanks

The IGLA system has been mentioned here and on facebook a few times with success. You can pull the fuse/relay but will eventually wear out the socket in the fusebox/relay holder. If a thief wants the car bad enough, they'll come with a spare relay. IGLA is a better option.

Thanks! I had not seen this product mentioned but I have seen others with starter kill switch subscription add-on. Definitely have some research to do. I was looking to do something quick since I have an unplanned trip in a few days.

Not sure what helf those thing are, but I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that may be slightly paranoid.

TLX is easily stolen along with a lot of other modern cars due to the keyless entry system and ease of programming new keys with the "right" blackmarket tools. IGLA helps avoid this issue, would recommend on any modern car from hellcat to TLX.
