GR86 Defrosting:- can someone drive off without key

[86GR]

if I start the car to defrost and go back in the house(with the key). If someone tries to nick the car does it stop when the key is out of range?

Nope

Nope

I guess if they aren’t used to the clutch they stall it, then won’t be able to restart

It's gonna be like 14 degrees on Monday; a short term risk only.

You could start the car then lock it mechanically from outside, although I can’t remember is the locking barrel is visible on the GR or if you’d have to pop off the side cap.
I used to do that with my MX-5 as the lock was externally visible.

I used to do that on my GT86

No, the car I believe would continue to drive until it was physically switched off.
However, the car could not be restarted.

Happy to be proven wrong!

And it wouldn't be insured!

Where do you live? I can pop round early morning and give it a test?
