My friend just fitted a small hidden switch under his dashboard he flicked when he left the car,
it disabled the ignition. Seemed to work fine.

Yeah
But not as obvious as the big keyswitch under the steering wheel (Or by the handbrake for old SAABs.

Won't stop a committed car thief, but will slow the average joyrider up enough to make them say fuckit and go somewhere else

a hidden switch
is a good idea on old cars (as in proper old, like my 79 camper van) as, if you fit it on the coil supply side, you can spin the motor over a few times without it starting, allowing a decent bit of oil pressure to build before you flick the switch.

stops it going takatakatakatakadrrrrrrrrrrr when you start it...
