I would have thought police cars would have been one of the first cars to have remote shutdown / ignition isolation system install - exactly for this reason.

In uk they have a system that their car can still run without the keys but it stalls if someone presses the accelerator untill the proper leys are inserted in the ignition

Heard one of the YO country cars saying he couldnt turn his car of cause it had to be jump started twice yesterday.

How! I didn't know this - is there something that documents this?

Thats the RUNLOCK SYSTEM

Thank you, this is something we need as well.

Now you mention it, Iv heard of a few turbo-timers that have this feture, wired to the handbreak the engine can run for a timed or untimed period and if the handbreak is taken off (without the keys in the ignition) the engine turns off.

turbo timers make the engine run for a period of time from 0 mins to 3 mins or more all the do is let the engine run for a x period time to cool the turbo they r not a fail safe for what u think they are for the device that they r taking about is completely differant
if the keys a in the egnition and some one steals it they have a remote to shut it down ...

as quoted from http://www.emergencyequipmentshop.co.uk ... p-278.html
The "Run Lock" unit enables a driver to remove the keys from the ignition of a vehicle while the engine continues to run. This enables adequate power, without battery drain, to be supplied to Blues and other scene lights at a major incident. The vehicle can then be driven off after re-inserting the keys, if the keys are not re-inserted the engine will cut out on removal of the parking brake or activation of the footbrake.

it doesnt say it had a remote. just stalls when handbrake is released or other brake.
