I use it as a neutral safety with auto boxes. If the villain whacks the gearshift out of park past reverse to neutral, it will cut out. Not really necessary, but I don't trust parking brakes.

I'm still kind of lost here. I understand what it would do if someone was trying to steal it under remote start, but as soon as they hit the brakes(or went over 2500 rpm or something iirc)it would just die anyways. I'm good at hard stuff...the easy things escape me some times =/

You're right of course, simply "belt and braces" but this way the vehicle doesn't go anywhere. On manuals I stick with the parking brake.
