Sometimes the easiest ways may be the best.   If you are just concerned with someone stealing your car and you have an electronic fuel pump, add a toggle switch and/or relay to cut the ground circuit  to your fuel pump.  Hide the switch somewhere out of sight and flip the switch when you exit the vehicle.  With the fuel pump disabled the car may start and run for a few seconds but after it runs out of fuel, the car and the thief is stopped in their tracks.  Unless it is towed, the car will not start until the switch is reset and the fuel pump is primed by cycling the igntion key a couple of times.  The only draw back is on some vehicles, especially Fords, this may cause the check engine light to come on if the ignition is turned on and the fuel pump has no ground, but its a small price to pay to keep your vehicle from being stolen.
