You could wire a keyed master disconnect switch somewhere under the hood. Maybe to the large wire going to the starter.

Id split that ignition wire in half, right there on the 5 pin harness I think its pink/white, seems pointless tho, if the guy is smart enough to bypass the cars immobilizer (chip in key) without taking off any plastic pieces to expose your "security system". Im sure hes smart enough to figure out a simple switch... Our jeeps may seem cheap, but these things are far from a honda civic, accord, or acura integra when it comes to ignition systems...they had the simple n/o n/c design, where ours basically uses a data signal to control when the car turns on or off.
You can get the screwdriver in there, twist and make the car turn on, but without the key the engine wont start...

srry for the double post,

If you look up a timed relay, it uses a capacitor and resistors to make a switch with a timer, found HERE then if you were ever to get carjacked, activate that switch and 30 seconds later the car dies thus you can get to a safe place then making the car jacker get out of the car, start running, get tased, and then we laugh..
