You biggest fear is a roll-back truck. Though a "kill" switch might save you........Mid-Night Auto Delivery is your greatest nightmare.

I just pull out my fuel pump fuse up under the hood, next to the battery, when I'm really concerned about the area I'm parked in. I also do this when I don't drive my car regulary so I can pump up the oil pressure before I start the car. If your'e somewhat lazy or short of time, this might not work for you.

An aftermarket alarm that sends you a page if your car is being tampered with, whether its a radio signal or a cell phone page. Then you can go and meet the thief in person if your close enough (this encounter will vary depending on the bad guys mood 
) Although you will have to sleep with the pager for it to be effective.

switch
You could wire a switch to the heavy gauge yellow wire coming from your ignition. That's your starter wire. If it was me I would get an alarm that does the same thing and a little more.

If you are driving a manual tranny, you can wire in a switch to the clutch. The clutch has a switch on it that makes you push it in to crank the car.If the circuit is broken with a hidden switch the car will not crank.

That's what I did on mine. It's the easiest way to go and since there are only two wires on this switch, pick either one to splice in to. It doesn't matter. Put your extra wires in a 1/4" black wire loom and run them to wherever you want to hide your kill switch. HTHRobert
