I use a Revelco for when it sits in my driveway for months at a time.
I also have a switch wired whereby I can leave it running, when the brake is depressed the engine shuts down and the Horn sounds. When I was doing roadside service, I never, if ever, turned it off the entire day, literally.

I have the Cyclops "system". Unless the potential thief KNOWS that you have it, which is not obvious, the truck will NOT start unnless they have the proper relay to replace it with.
By the time that they can figure it out they could have taken another vehicle several times over.

3rd owner on my truck and the first owner was some sort of rich guy, he got himself an E99 and gussied it all up with extras including a CompuStar remote starter/alarm/security system. The siren does not work and I'm not looking to find out why not, it seems that they have a way of sounding of at bad times...but...this system is awesome IMO. It's old and still does it's thing. When I use the remote starter it locks the doors then starts. Then the fob must be used to unlock the doors or it shuts down and won't start. Get in, get behind the wheel and the key must be inserted in the ignition and turned or the engine shuts down when I touch anything and won't start back up without working the fob. I have no idea what the systems cost but the company is still in business and when I call them for support I quickly get a human on the phone who can walk me through things, even though I have a 17 year old unit.

That would work. Interrupting any required circuit will work as well. In my experience, interrupting a field circuit is much "safer" than interrupting the PCM. They [PCM's] don't take kindly to spikes anomalies, very fragile.
