Default Starter Fuse?

Anyone know if there's a starter fuse and which one it is? Im moving into a new apartment complex and my car wont be driven during the week, only weekends. So I wanted to pull the fuse just as an extra safety measure so no one tries to steal it. I use to have one in my VW I would pop out when I parked my car in the city. It wouldnt reset the clock or anything, just avoid start up

I think I found the starter fuse from a diagram online. But removing any one of those mentioned should stop the car from starting right? I mean I dont know what kind of technology criminals are using for push button ignitions but you think that should do it?

I'm not sure if there is a "starter" fuse, but there is definetly a fuse for the Igintion system you can pull...Or just pull all the fuses and call it good .



Also you might look into puting in a starter "kill switch". Generally you just find a wire that that car NEEDS to run(Fuel pump signal possibly) and put a small switch on it somewhere obscure in the car. That way when you leave you just flip the switch and walk away, no need to open the hood.
