apart from the whole "most cars not having one" thing
it's a rather odd thing to do. You'd have to disconnect all the HT leads and a dizzy cap is a) rather big to go in the pocket of, say, jeans and b) usually dirty and c) quite easy to damage.

taking the rotor arm out would be a better solution, I would suggest, achieving exactly the same effect for an awful lot less effort.

Yeah he said about the rotor arm as well.
I think the idea is that if you've got a day-bag with you, then you put it in that.

What's just as good
In my old Mini's you could easily get to the spark plugs. I just used to swap the order of the middle 2. Runs like a bag of spanners and can't be driven away.

Although I'm sure I didn't always get them back in the right order, they way some of them ran!

the only problem with that
is that all the thief needs to do is swap them back.

Sure.
but why would you bother when you achieve the same effect by removing the rotor arm? it's effectively like wanting to, I dunno, protect a TV from a power surge while you are on holiday - and going about this by unscrewing the whole socket from the wall rather than just unplugging it.

I don't know
I'm not a mechanic.

I'm sorry.
