Take the distributor out of the motor, unwind the armoured cable and hot wire it from there? A lot of time and effort to steal a car a young thief wouldn't able to drive anyway, most likley. This, being your car, I suggest cleaning the contact at the end of the armoured cable. On the National Model A Rally in NZ only a couple of weeks ago, we had a car refuse to start for that reason. Once the problem was diagnosed, the fix took seconds.
