IMHO, the thief is going to try and start the car and drive it away. The
hidden switch/electric fuel pump trick was appealing to me since North
American TR6's have mechanical fuel pumps, so the thief would not be
listening for the sound of an electric fuel pump. The car would start
and drive a short distance away, and then would empty the carb bowls and
quit (ask me how I know ;-) ). No thief wants to attract attention, and
sitting in a dead car in the middle of the street is not where he wants
to be, so rather than look for the switch, typically, the thief would
bolt. It isn't the best solution, but it does help.
