Immobiliser security system

my car is parked in a garage right out my window so im not to worried about when im home. when im at school and work its out in the open, school has cameras which is a help. i also have the grant steering wheel system, so i always take my wheel with me, i never back in. i always pull in and turn my wheels so that if they try to pull it back it will pull into the curb, another car, pole ect. thats my fight againts tow trucks. unfortunatly a tow truck has alot of 'wenching' torque.
my car is extremly easy to hot wire and drive away, and an alarm is easy to get around. and if they get by the steering wheel then they gotta get by this immobiliser system( which has like 12 black wires comming out the pack so it would be hard to jump i would think. take a while anyways.
im in phoenix, az and cars get jacked constantly, and this is my pride and joy so whatever i can do to keep her, i hope to do.

PATS system is "Passive Anti-Theft System." Ford started using this system I believe back in 1999. Your key sends a signal to your car letting it know that it's a legit key and will allow the car to start. If the incorrect key is there sending off the wrong signal or no signal, your car will not start.

That is true (well, except I think GT's had it early than '99)...

Isn't the PATS system the same as a "kill switch"?
