    Depends on what kinda setup you're running. Old mounts, parts hitting against eachother can cause false KR. Usually headers is a good way to kill some KR. Or an IC. Pulley up and stay out of boost.

    you could try setting a trap and releasing it back into the wild. Maybe try spraying some knock repellant around your rocker panels.

    KR won't hide there in most cases because of the rust... Try confusing the retard with intelligence - they usually run away at that point.

    I've always been told you can take a solid blunt object, such as a Baseball Bat, or Tire Iron, etc... and hit the retard on the back of the head. Upon knocking the retard unconscious you can simply drag them into a cage and keep them away from the motor as to not cause more problems.

    I myself have not tried this, as I keep my retard under control and chained in place, but whatever works for you.

    Try some research and see what others have done to solve their retarded problems.
