Here's what I did !
Bought a kill switch from the local Saturday Night race shop.
Mounted it under the dash near the interior light on the drivers side. All I
did was make a splice in the negative side of the battery terminal. I had to
run some extra wire but it wasn't much of a job.
Car won't hit a lick if it's cut off, and no one knows where the switch is.
Even if they did they wouldn't know what it's for. I painted the handle
black instead of leaving it the bright red that they are when new.

What if you wired a hidden switch that would disable the starter, and
honk the horn if the thief attempted to hot-wire the vehicle? I'm sure
there's enough electrical expertise on this list to figure this one out!
