Another old trick is to hide two switches. One in a typical place for a valet or kill switch (say, next to the drivers left knee, under the dash) and the other in a more obscure location. The second is your real kill switch. The first, when thrown, blows a fusible link in some critical part of the ignition or fuel system. |
