I didn't see what you are talking about. But I have seen people put one of
the old "high beam" floor switchs on the floor and use it as a kill switch. 
You just tap it with you foot before you get out and and the car can't be
started. (Unless of course someone can figure out what the switch on the
floor is for.) Tap it again when you get back in and you're ready to go.
