Mark,
In my car, I'm using a commercial alarm unit, with an add-on pager unit. I
have both the starter and the electric fuel pump wired in with the alarm
unit, such that neither one works if the alarm is on. I also have a hidden
switch to shut off the fuel pump, even if the thief should defeat the alarm
unit, with a chime to tell me that I've forgotten to turn it back on so I
won't be embarrassed by running out of gas in the middle of the road.
At the risk of sounding crassly commercial, I have a chapter in my book (8
pages) devoted to alarms and general theft "proofing" techniques.
