The oldest theft deterrent is still one of the best.
A hidden and secret kill switch that is easilly accessed by the driver.

You can kill the fuel pump, ignition, automatic transmission unlock solenoid, anything.
The systems and complexity of the kill switch or switches is limited by the vehicles systems and your own creativity.

If you want it to work it has to be original. If you have a shop do it crooks will know to look for it.

My theft deterrent is my lithium iron phosphate batteries. I pull them when the vehicle is parked. Plus my diesels glow plug switch is kind of hidden.
