Check this out. I do this when I leave my car in a not so great spot.

Under the front drivers-side seat, there is a little metal bracket bolted to the floor. Take out the bolt that holds it there and you will see the fuel pump relay attached to it. Go ahead and seperate the relay from the metal bracket (and chunk the bracket....or keep it for scrap).

The relay consists of some wires coming into a connector with a large cube-shaped plug in it (fuel pump relay). Break off the tab that holds the plug on and pull the plug out of the connector. It will probably be pretty tough to get out he first few times. This will kill the power to your fuel pump. They won't go anywhere unless they just *happen* to have a spare fuel pump relay laying around.

When you're ready to go again, just plug the relay back in and go. It comes in handy in all kinds of places. If you have to park in a bad neighborhood, just reach under the seat and pull the relay out and pocket it when you park. It takes less than a second and the car will not go anywhere. It takes about as much time to put in when you're ready to go. Also, it is inconspicuous...nobody will know you've done it.
