Default Cobra anti theft prevention

Although I am a small distance from completing this car (18months to 2years) the possibility of criminals removing all my hard work etc is always there especially with unemployment etc going up, so I am trying to build in some theft prevention and come up with these ideas the first being a must,

1. Insurance.
2. Electrical cut off which we have to have for racing anyway, but that will be easy to find even if its hidden.
3. Removal of the MSD ignition rotor, would stop them driving it away, but a hassle to remove and install each time I want to use the car.
4. Fuel cut off valve but that may not be a good idea on the pressure side of the circuit as could promote pump damage.
5. Dig a hole in the shed concrete floor and have a large eye concreted in so I can loop a heavy chain around part of the chassis, and hide the cut off saw...!
6. IF THEY WANT IT THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE IT.....!
7. Speak to all my retired excellent neighbours that if I am not with the car and its being removed phone the Police.
