Installing a Kill Switch in a 2000 Corolla?

[Walleye]

Well, it has come to my attention that i need a kill switch for my car.

My sister quite literally stole it today. somehow there was a 3rd set of keys set around. I gave the second set to my brother, and i keep the first set.

The reason she stole the car, is that since she's older, she thinks she's entitled to it. She owns a 95 ford explorer, and she crashed it into another car. this is the 3rd car she's pretty much destroyed, in 7 years of driving. the explorer isnt completely totaled, but it'll be several thousand worth to fix it. (2 other cars are the 84 camry, and a 99 corolla)

So, she thinks that because she's out of a car for the meantime while hers gets repaired, she thinks she owns mine. We offered her other options already. an 84 camry, and a 96 windstar. but no, she has to have the 2000 corolla.

I have to do something to keep her from stealing my car continually. I'll start pulling the distributor or doing some other cutoff, till i can get this installed. but i want to do something.

I have all the documentation and everything for the car, and i will probably be putting the kill switch in the door map pocket. (i dont keep anything there anyway. ) if not, then i'll locate it under the dash. I have the pinouts, the electrical diagrams, factory service manuals, etc. So... what should i tap into for the kill switch? anyone have any suggestions on what kind of switch to use? how much current should the switch be able to handle?

where did she get the 3rd key anyways? just steal the 3rd key and eliminate the trouble of wiring all that stuff up, or you can just buy her a new car.

I dont know where she got the 3rd key, and i wouldnt put it past her to have already gone and had a copy made.

Take all plastic off the console around the key. Find the main power wire. Cut it and wire up each end to a switch. Hide it under the steering column. Not hard.

I was thinking about getting this myself once my car is worth stealing, http://www.4mysecurity.com/products.htm
this way even if she finds the switch she'll need the security key.

Buy some steel chain and a padlock(combination)
Wrap the chain around the steering wheel to the
brake pedal and lock it tight. Problem solved for
less than 10 dollars!

Just change the lock. Or have some Italian hitmen make her disappear
