For a magnet, how about a Hide-A-Key with no key inside it? If a thief finds the hide a key, he won't find a key in it, but also won't have a clue why the empty hide-a-key is on the vehicle.
A magnet on a cable that reaches the switch seems pretty easy to figure out. As I said, a thief won't figure out what he can't find. But this seems pretty obvious if he finds it.
Not to mention many modern vehicles have locking gas doors that can only be released from inside the vehicle.

Good idea. Back in the days I did those vehicles, locking gas doors weren't that common. Most of the vehicles I did were work trucks. Many of them were for snow plowing and they seemed to be prone to locking themselves out of a running truck. The magnet wasn't visible unless you new where to look. The hide a key box would likely work and make people think the key was gone.

Thanks everyone! I've come to realize that near nothing is impossible when dealing with cars, and I knew this wouldn't be an exception. To me this is just one of those cool little things that you keep on the back burner until one day it's the perfect fix for something, or just a fun project one day when your bored.
