If it is FI, you can just reach under the dash and pull the plug out of the 
fuel pump relay. With this out, everything will seem to work, but the car just 
won't start. You might end up with a run down battery, but they'd probably 
leave if it won't start quickly. Car thieves know that they need to be quick.

Once you learn where this relay is, your left hand can plug and unplug it in 
about the same time that it takes your right hand to get the key in the 
ignition.
