For a determined thief there is nothing you can do. For the casual thief, a stick shift might be enough also a floor emergency brake lever. The lighted area and out front is a good idea. I have gone to Kansas City for the last 9 years in my 1954 3100 and I have pulled the coil wire slightly, I have installed an alarm system that I found only last a few minutes and is a parasitic draw on the battery.
