Just a thought, but I recently read of a car being stolen from a left coast car show where the owner had taken the coil wire off as he was touring the show field. Someone simply stole a coil wire from another car, put it on his and drove off...a $30,000 56 Nomad.
Personally, I like a fuel shutoff valve or a separate switch for an electric pump. It may allow the thief to get a block or two but then stalls and dies. Ususally they'll leave the car where it sits. If they're really after your car, they'll simply put it on a rollback and be done with it.
