I've worked with a person who at one point in thier life was involved in a professional car theft syndicate. The most effective method is to have a kill switch on your fuel pump this can't be quickly countered you just have to hide it well enough yet also have it still be practical.

Another highly effective method is to have a secret sequence of actions that allow the ignition to be fully activated. For example press in brake place drive in neutral, turn on a/c unit so on. That method is also used by drug runners to activate hidden compartments. Of course this only works on newer(past 15 years) vechiles and requires that it be programmed in.
Rgr that, seen some cunning examples in my time
