Nice feature, not sure if it would deter a modern thief but it's probably effective against a screwdriver jammed into the ignition.
LOL that reminds me.
Many years ago I came across a woman in a Firebird stuck on the side of the road so I stopped to see if I could help.
I asked her what was wrong she says "I dont know it just shut off and wont start"
she also managed to run the battery down trying.
So I hooked up may cables and got in her car to turn it over when I looked at the dash and the gas guage with its needle pegged on E.
