Better, IMO, to hide it under the dash. That way, not only is the switch
not visible, but if anyone watches you park or start the car, they likely
won't notice you turning the switch.
Even better than a kill switch is a solenoid that blocks the fuel feed.
When it won't start, they know something's up, but if it just dies, chances
are they'll just take off running.

One trick that might help : disconnect a battery lead and then temporarily
wire a small test lamp between the lead and the battery. It should light
for any appreciable drain, and then go out when you disconnect the circuit
with the leak.

Don't forget, advertising is not the same as selling. There was a fairly
original TR3A advertised locally for USD 19k, that eventually sold for only
$11k.
