Without asking anyone to give out the specifics of their hidden switch location,
how about some general suggestions.  If I were a thief I would first reach /
look under the dash and then on the floor around the drivers seat for a kill
switch.  On the other hand, if the switch activation is not discrete why have
it.  In another (nonLBC) project car I am considering using a microswitch behind
the ashtray.  I would slide the ash tray out about 3/16 in. to activate the kill
switch - assuming that a slightly open ashtray would not look suspicious.

I use my tonneau regularly to close off the cockpit to keep others away from my
car (along with keeping dust, bird droppings and rain out).   IMO if someone
can't see into the car, there less of a chance for petty thievery (stealing
things out of the car).
