That's about what I do except instead of interupting the hot side of the 
coil it grounds the 'Contact' (distributor) side so it's as if the 
points never open.  That way a standard hot wire is ineffective.

That said, I'm probably only fooling myself.  In the one recent LBC 
theft I recall the thief took a trailered MG by the simple expedient of 
hitching up the trailer and driving off.  One of those 10-second jobs 
mentioned.
