A bartender told me that he had connected the fuel pump to a switch hidden. He lived in a rough neighborhood and his car was an easy target for thieves. More than once he had found his car a hundred or so meters down the road.

Adam Carolla likes to talk about how he did this with his truck way back in the day. You could drive as far as whatever gas was in the carburetor and fuel line.

He also painted his radio brown like the interior of the truck. It was so ugly nobody ever stole the one thing that had any value in the truck.
