Hi,

what I prefer is a hidden switch somewhere in the car that disconnects the fuel 
pump (electrical pump required !!! TR6, Stag, ...).

So the car will start just fine ... run not more than a mile ... and stop.

That's just what a thief needs now. And you'll easily find your car (just where 
the big traffic jam is).

I already tried this with my Stag (I just forgot to reset the switch ...). It 
stopped about a couple of hundreds yards after starting. As the fuel lines and 
carbs are empty then, it additionally takes some time of cranking till it 
starts up again.

  Tom
