This is what I do with a 3 way double toggle pole switch, in the off setting I have it powered to a 12V red mini LED that is visible on the dash this also then gives the impression of a upmarket alarm.

Position 1 = Car runs,
2 = Car won't run no flashing LED
3 = Car won't run Flashing Led

I use a switch that is very easy to hide and as mentioned who is going to spend time looking, no good under the bonnet as I splice behind the dash...so even the ignition works!
