Two rather low tech things come to mind. I put a shut off valve in line in my fuel line between the tank and the pre filter, one, for sanitarily changing the filter, fuel pump and post fpump filter, and two, it also would work well if you flipped the lever to "off" when parking in less than savory circumstances, as the thieves wouldn't get far on what's in the fuel hoses

2. I bought a battery kill switch complete with key from JC Whitney when I was a kid and never installed it., but that would stop things pretty quickly. If you had stereo stuff needing juice to keep station presets and the like, well, then you'll have to get a little more creative, I guess
