vandalize your own car??
sorry, this might sound really stupid... but i think is good for me and my car...
my mom give the other key of my car to our neighbor, which i know she doesn't even know how to drive her own Hyundai(yea, and her son crashed it... which it worry me...) her whole family can't drive
i don't want the next morning i found out my car is gone, since school is over and made me worry every night.
so what the best way for them not able to start the car?? disconnect the battery?? or unplug inside the car??
yea doing that could save my car!!!

But, to prevent your car from being started; I would suggest that you keep the key to the car on you and lock your car. How can they start the car if you have the key and the doors are locked? Is this answer too simple or am I missing something?

NO NO NO, do not disconnect the battery!!! There is too much that "could" go wrong and it is not worth it.
Go to the dealership and invalidate that key. Make the key that you have the only one that works.
As asked above, why did mom give it up in the first place.

So, it's your mom's car, right? I guess she can do whatever she wants with it since it's hers....right? 
And yes, a 17 year old can afford a car with a part time job. My first car was a 1988 Hyundai Excel. $1,000..but you know what, it was mine and my mom couldn't just loan it out to people whenever she felt like it.
Maybe you should change the thread title to "Vandalize my mom's car?"

Well, for one thing, they can give it away to the neighbors kid who can't drive worth a ****. But other than that, nothing.

why didn't you let your mom know that you don't want them to borrow your car? give your mom plenty of reason. i.e. accident, insurance, blah blah blah...when someone borrow another person's car the owner's liable for any accident that happans. If they borrow the car and indeed got into an accident the title holder which in this case your parents will be responsible. Your neighbor can pretty much walk away without paying a cent.
