Now I don't know many car theives but it would stand to reason they
will be wearing shoes.  If this were even possible and the would be
thief left his shoes at home the most he would get would be a little
zap.  It ain't fun but its not going to hurt anyone.

My advice would be to put an alarm on the car and be done with it.
Your resorting to juvenile tactics with a person who has nothing to
loose.  If you did manage to hurt them in some way they could just set
fire to it in your driveway or worse.

From Nomen Nescio:

Rigging up a pedal like you describe isn't legal.  Same law as the "trap
gun" applies.  Society does not allow diabolical devices among its mists.

Also, its dangerous.  Suppose your insane invention goes haywire and you
are driving it at the time.  You will crash it and kill somebody innocent,
not including yourself.  And not to mention it won't work unless your thief
does't wear shoes.  The dialectric strength of shoeleather is approximately
5,000 volts per mm, not counting socks.  So its not likely anything at all
will be felt by the retarded guy who would risk going to prison to hijack a
Neon.

Very difficult. And the word you're after is "pedal". The one you're using
("peddle") means "to sell".

Yes: It's a stupid one. Spend more time with a remedial English textbook,
spend less time worrying about someone stealing your shitty Neon, and
please NEVER have children.
