Why send it to ground? An easier method is to just open the wire. I have
done this with a simple switch. All I have done is to disconnect the
negative side and connect it to a wire running to the switch. The other
side of the switch goes back to the coil.
Besides, in the words of a former Talk-Radio auto show host, "Anyone
who steals a British car deserves what they get." (For the humor
