Sure I can suggest a brand, Chevy. As in a 1972 Chevy Luv pickup with dirty and
slightly rusted white spoke wheels. It'll never be touched. :-)

What is a "disabler?" I presume it's an ignition cut-off device. (I've
got one in every car)

The punks in my neighborhood are pretty easy to scare off. I installed
small transmitters in my cars connected to those motion sensing things
sold for car alarms. A receiver in the house turns on three quartz flood
lights providing instant day-time for anybody screwing with the cars.
I also put a sonalert in the engine compartment of each car also connected
to the motion switch both as a deterent and so I can tell which car is
turning on the lights in the event of a problem.

This system also provides the 'turn on the lights when you drive up'
function. 

Good luck,
John
