Hi Bob

Here's a couple ways I've seen or heard about:

1. Fuel line shutoff valve

2. Hide a second ignition switch behind the dash

3. Hidden battery shutoff switch

4. Pull the rotor and put it in your pocket

None of these will keep the kids from pushing it away somewhere so turn the
wheels to the curb and lock the steering wheel and lock the tranny in gear
as well. If they really want to steal it they'll bring a crane and a
flatbed!
