If it's a SC400, pull the starter and take it with you. That'll take the thief months to sort out. 
Seriously, though, be careful with kill switches. The fuel pump ecu suggestion might work, but ignition systems tend to be finicky about introducing a switch into the circuit. I've found myself stranded a few times as a result. It could be the quality of the switch in question, but many other people have reported similar issues, so it's probably a matter of the ignition system requiring a more precise voltage level than elsewhere throughout the car.

Kira X - my friend, you know you can add the Viper VSM250 or Viper DSM250 module to have the SmartGPS system. You already have the Viper 5901 which is a SmartStart system.
Then just activate the GPS subscription , less than $6 a month. You can control your car with your smart phone..you get phone notification and track your car on your phone .

Once you are in a place , you can specify it as your lockdown location or create a fence around it. The moment that car leaves the place , you get your phone alerts and then see its movements or where they are taking it. Not like lojack which I have on my MKIVs, they have already taken the car and only after you have reported your car stolen will their system start emitting signals which the police can pickup. So if you are late in reporting it, damn car is already in pieces or probably long gone.
Well even before that, since you have a tilt sensor, the moment they even try lifting it for towing, you get alerted on your phone and remote control.
Correction , I meant Directed DSM250. They are both owned by Directed Electronics anyway...even the others like phyton / clifford are owned by them. Cheaper to get the DSM250 than VSM250 but are exactly the same. It's the name Viper that makes it more expensive.

Best features for security I like are the LOCKDOWN ALERT and SMART FENCE.

I had to get the tilt sensor since I was daily driving my SC at the time. It had a set of SSR Professors on it and I was paranoid someone would steal them.
If you check out Sonicelectronix.com they sometimes have the Viper alarms on sale pretty cheap. I got the Viper 5901 for my SC300 and Escalade for $400 a few years ago.

Just FYI for anyone posting their own setup here it's prime sourcing material for thieves. I'm no paranoid android here, but it's not hard to look at other posts and find pictures of your car or license plate, know what to disable or enable on your car and run off with it.
