Interesting concept. If it has a coil can still just jumper to 12v and start motor. Hood lock would be needed with it to be robust.
I use an isolation relay to prevent any jumpering under hood or under dash. With EFI, MSD and so on it is not simple to hot wire.

I like the concept but wonder if I would remove it and keep it on my person at all times... I probably would not. Maybe if it was smaller.
I have considered hidden a hidden switch but again wonder how much I would use it.
I have looked at a key pad style switches but do I want to enter a code every time to start it? Key pads can also show the code numbers used if they wear or get grungy.
I like the idea of a RFID key chain like newer cars use for keyless starting but how robust are aftermarket electrics? Will it leave me stranded somewhere?
GPS tracking is the only think I do use. It may be too late by the time it is found though.
So have good insurance is the best option I can think of.

If you go somewhere you are worried about, remove the coil wire. Then put it in your wife's purse.

Ruler yea I agree maybe not all the time, but I would pull it every night.
Jeffafa, my issue is where I live, I don't have a garage for it and I live on a high traffic road and with the prices going up I'm worried about someone trying to grab it at night...
