Nobody can steal my truck. No thief would know exactly how to jiggle the loose, frayed wiring behind the switch and use the foot starter at the same time.
I had the same sort of "security" on my truck for a while, but add a leaky windshield gasket to the "features" and it became too secure. Nothing wakes you up in the morning like a 90 amp jolt. I decided to make it safe
and secure by rewiring the whole truck and installing a battery cutoff switch (the cheap one with the red key) so far up under the dash I can barely find it. I don't have to leave my seat, let alone pop the hood, to kill the entire electrical system. With a removable key on the switch, the only way to hotwire the truck is to bring your own battery cables.
Oh, I replaced the windshield and gasket to keep the new wiring dry.
