Personally, if I was going to steal one of your cars, I would not even consider STARTING the motor. I would bring a truck and tow your car away in 14 seconds.
If you know how to do it, it only takes about 15 minutes to install one of these switches. A cheapo switch is like $5 and a bit of extra wiring from Home Depot is like $3 (if you don't already have a spare couple of feet sitting in your toolbox). Not a lot of money and not a lot of time. Does it stop the car from being stolen under all circumstances? Nope. As you mentioned there are ways. However, I figure the manual transmission stops about 30% of potential thieves, a fuel pump switch another 50%, and a starter switch another 15% or so. To take the time, energy, and risk (people notice big trucks towing cars) to bring a flatbed truck to steal a lowly Sentra seems like a lot of work.
