One gang gone, but their replacement will arrive soon.
The best and cheapest protection for theft is a hidden ignition kill switch. I've used a momentary switch like a doorbell button placed under the carpet that is installed after the ignition and before the starter. When you turn the key to start the engine you push the carpet over the button and the engine starts.
If they REALLY want your Jeep they'll tow it away.

Problem with pushbutton is that if you have to leave it with someone you have to tell them the secret. I have a hidden toggle on my XJ.

That's true. Parked mine with a valet once and forgot to tell them. Came back four hours later and it hadn't moved from curb.
