A surprisingly simple way to foil car thieves

In one of my old cars I reach down under the dash and partially unplug the clutch switch. Prevents any starting because the car thinks you've forgotten to press the clutch in. You'd need to know that one connector is a bit too far out, super stealth.

You had the thief at clutch, of course. But I love this idea.

Depends on where you're living. The US is the only country I've been to where automatic transmission are so ubiquitous
