POS's don't like to make noise when they are stealing cars so it may help.

What I like is a making it run but only for a small amount of time (done with alarm systems) like 20 or 40sec that way it fires up and they pull away from your house as it dies in the middle of the street or intersection and they bail and leave it! You need to push a switch before starting it to delete this function. But since POS's are not that bright to begain with they think if it starts they are home free. Not the case with this set up.

Had a friend that did this with a '69 Roadrunner. He had a hidden switch for the electric fuel pump. The car was stolen and got just a little ways away and then basically ran out of gas. They then burned the car.
