Years ago I equipped one of my carbed toys with a hidden switch in the line that powered the electric fuel pump, which was very simple. A little more complicated is a hidden shutoff valve to the gas line. The theory here is the thief that bypasses the ignition switch will start the car and quickly pull onto the road, where the engine will die in a couple hundred yards. Now, he's more visible and is likely to abandon the car rather than figure out what went wong. Still, it's pretty hard to stop a flatbed.
