Yes, anyone could do that, but think about it -- they would need a crystal ball to know whether it was a relay, kill switch, or other means or malfunction that was keeping the car from starting.

My thought is they would do a quick check for a kill switch in the area of the driver's seat and then bail out. I don't think thieves are going to pop the hood and start switching out relays... particularly not for something like my LT, where interposing a few speed bumps for the popular theft methods would seem to do the trick.
