    Sounds like she's wanting to disable the car so her son can't leave the house. If only it were that simple. If someone wants to leave, they'll find a way.

    Sounds like you want to disconnect the coil wire (we used to do this too occasionally) BUT its not the same on every car....sorry. Hope you figure out what to do. Sometimes leaving in an alternate way is better than letting one drive...I know. ((((Corkster))))

    I have been in the same place as you. I don't know what to tell you about the car. I just pray everytime my son leaves, and thank God when he returns. There would be no need for me or hubby to take something off our sons truck, he can work on it, and would just fix it. Good luck, I hope things work out for you.

    Why not learn to enjoy the little things - there are so many of them.

    Or better yet, take the tires off and leave it sitting on blocks.


    Wonder how hard it would be to remove a steering wheel? LOL

    How old is your son?

    Why not ask a mechanic where the distributor cap is, and how to remove it, so you can take it with you, and DS has to pitch his bitc.... to get it back.

    this one definately works... my neighbor used it with his 2 rebellious teenage sons: take off the liscense plates. they are pretty easy to unscrew and small enough to lock in a safe, take to work in a breifcase, hide, etc. a cop would DEFINATELY notice a car driving around without plates.
    not to flame anyone or their ideas, but... i wouldnt take away the keys because he would probably make another copy next time he gets them back in anticipation of getting them taken away. (plus, i used to work at a car dealership and we were able to cut a new key if given the VIN number... the parts dept had some kind of code.) the battery would be easy (and inexpensive enough) to go to the auto parts store, get another one, and install it.
