I wish I had a blinking light. I live out in the country so I've only had a problem once: I was in columbus for a conference. as I have a wagon, a good portion of my belongings were colecting in the back (here this means anywhere something can fall after being pitched rearward from the driver's seat). I didn't feel like sifting through the trash for the valuable stuff to take into the hotel, so I left everything. I then parked in a downtown, open lot and came back one night to a smashed right/rear window and about $1000 of stuff missing.
Moral-Don't leave *anything* in plain sight. No one would steal a Volvo for joy-riding or parts, but it is reasonable to assume that a Volvo owner has some valuable property that *might* be left in the car. Put everything in the truck or get a cargo cover for the wagon. This kind of theft can be detered with a blinking light, as long as you make it look like an alarm and park in a safe place(lots of light, lots of people).
I like the idea of switching some critical fuse, but if you switch it with the fog lights, don't you have to drive around with the lights on all the time. Maybe you could get an extra switch and put in a blank in the same row.
