What could I disconnect?????

I am getting ready to go on a trip and having my truck parked outside a hotel with all my stuff in it is leaving me a little weary. What could I disconnect to prevent the truck from being started?? Any inputs that are easy to get to would be appreciated.

Under the hood, relay box, relay #302. IDM Relay. Just did that with mine while in St. Louis. Redneck theft protection.

You're a mechanic and didn't look at the fuses and relays listed in the manual to figure it out? I'm not even a mechanic. I'm a chef and I figured this one out.

That was the first thing I did. I pulled the FICM control fuse. Just wanted something easier. Like where is the FICM plug?

Again, I'm no mechanic. I went for the relay because it was under the hood and much harder to find and more likely they wouldn't have a spare. A fuse on the panel can be bypassed with a paper clip.
