This is somewhat amazing.  It sounds too coincidental to have your kill 
switch installed and two weeks later have it stolen.  Are we to 
understand that it ran for two blocks until the kill switch took affect?  
That is the only explanation I can imagine without immediately suspecting 
the shop which did the wiring (as a practical joke perhaps).
