How to make a kill switch for fuel pump

I want to make a kill switch for my car so it has a less likely chance of being stolen. It is a convertible.

So how would I make a switch that shuts all power off to the fuel pump? Would it be a good idea to do it from the fuse box and just crack in a switch in that area?

Im new to this stuff give me a break

Does anyone know which fuse is the one to the fuel pump?

Best way is to cut the ECM reference pulse to the distributer. The engine will start, run 5 seconds then die. Want to talk about an angry theif. Car starts, they drop it into gear and it dies. Cut the circuit between the distributer and the ECM the injectors will not fire. The other way as soon as the module goes from bypass to EST the engine will die.

That's a good idea, I think i'll do that instead of the origional fuel pump idea.

I don't have my car right now or i'd look (my new camaro is coming in 2 days); where should I put the wires to get to the panel right below the Ac/Heater switches? That's where I want to put it, hidden with other switches.
