It's not as easy as adding another solenoid between the battery and the
starter. The battery terminal on the starter is where the whole car gets
its power, so the wires, other than the battery cable on the post need
to be reconnected to the battery side of the new solenoid. Starter
solenoids are also not designed to be kept pulled in all the time, just
for the few seconds that are needed to run the starter, so a starter
solenoid won't hold up if it is to be used as a theft deterrent, it will
overheat and short out (the coil), or at lease melt down.
Peace,
Pat
