I do use this battery disconnect, but for parasitic drain, not anti-theft. It does however have the advantage that the car is completely unpowered and thus invisible to drive by RF scanners, onstar spying, etc. This one is not practical for use outside of a garage because with the convertible, the trunk needs to stay ajar to avoid lockout & door handle gymnastics.

But there are other ways to mount a more practical and elegant kill switch that's accessible outside the car, something like this. Most race-rated switches will have at least 4 posts (2 for power mains, 2 for spark/ECU/whatever-signal-you-want interrupt, etc.).
