Default Ignition cutoff switch ?

What are you guys doing for a ignition cutoff switch ? My DieHard Security battery died on me. I really liked that battery as you could turn it off and when off you couldn't start the car.

I am looking for something simple. I don't want to switch a battery cable but was thinking about putting a switch on one of the MSD wires, maybe one to the coil so the motor wouldn't start but other stuff would still work.

I am getting a Viper alarm for it in a couple of days but I want to know what some of you have done to disable you car so no one can steal it.

I know my MSD 6A has a brown wire that when grounded out cuts off the ignition. It is in the MSD instructions as a possible security feature.

Thanks for the heads up MIke, I just read the instructions on their site and yes you can ground a wire as a theft deterrent, that is what I am going to do tommorrow.
