I took the lid to the fuse panel inside with me so there's no diagram to read. Also had spare fuses on it so just popped the 15 and stuck it in there. Unless the guy is gonna sit there on his phone and open up Google to troubleshoot, I don't think he'll figure it out. Also I live in an apartment complex so if he cranked it and it didn't immediately start, i doubt he would hang around and try and fiddle with it.
It's good there was nothing valuable in there to steal, but what really pisses me off is that he took a screwdriver to the tip out ash tray trying to pry it out. Broke the hinges and chipped up everything around it. My interior was perfect before that. I guess he was looking for hidden drugs or money. I'd go sleep in my car with a can of bear spray and wait for him if it wasn't 10 degrees out.
On a side note, how hard is it to re key this car? Any special tools needed? Spent the last couple hours tearing apart the house and car looking for the spare key. At this point I'm pretty sure it was in my center console and he took it. Should I let the locksmith handle it, or is this a job I can do myself? If the ignition specifically is the hard part, I can leave that for now. Just need to make sure I always lock the car.
