    The 2005-09 Aveo has a transponder except the LT (optional). If your fleet has all the same key and one set is taken you would have to rekey the locks and ignition on all of them which is expensive. If he wants to test to see if the key is a transponder, cover the head good with tin foil and try to start the vehicle. The signal will be blocked and it will turn over but not start if it is a transponder key.

    Equip your trucks with remote self-destruct like they use on wayward launch vehicles. Make an iPhone app. If someone takes it, then press the big red `fake` on-screen button.

    Not a large explosion. Just use frangible bolts to make the truck fall apart in various places.
