Just happened across this thread....sorry to hear of the bad news down south.
As a suggestion, consider the use of a Reed switch installed somewhere in the pcm harness...like maybe on the crank position sensor-to pcm signal wire. You could hide the switch anywhere in the car, and if a magnet is not placed over the switch (that is hidden behind interior plastic somewhere)...no fire. The best part, is that even if the PCM is switched out...no fire.
Just a thought, as I'm considering this mod on a couple of my cars.

Go to autozone, buy a arming switch and some 18 awg wire...
Mount the switch somewhere top secret, cut the fuel pump power wire under the rear end and run the 18awg from it up through the trunk area (drill small hole through the rubber grommet ) and to the switch, then back to the pump wire..
Can't go anywhere without fuel lol
Crazy we gotta think of stuff like this..

Haha I'm thinking about getting a arming switch & hiding it somewhere. Already have one good spot that pretty stealth & I'm sure thiefs wouldn't know to look there.
I'm thinking about getting this? Any thoughts..

This might seem Mickey Mouse But I invested in this unit with the input from someone on here. I have 3 Trans Am's with a 2 car garage . I live in a low crime area. I have had this unit for about 3 months now & I love it. You can use up to 8 sensors with this. I have 1 of the sensors in the Trans Am that sits outside under cover. The alarm will not go off unless someone breaks the infrared beam(Alarm won't go off thru windows). Someone has to open the door for the alarm to go off, The sensor flashes green & makes no noise, The unit in the house will beep letting you know that someone is ******* with your car. Put 2 sensors in there so it can detect either door being opened(You can put them on the dash or in the back seats, Wherever you want, they have 180 degree detection)..Cheap Insurance. The sensors run off of 4 AA batteries. I have one sensor at the garage door & like 3 in the garage in case they want to try to steal those.
