Rather than a single on/off switch you can use several on/off switches that are wired in series that would make up a combination. If all of them are "on" then power would flow. You set the "combo" by mounting some of them upside down. The downside is that a passenger would see the "combo" if you mount them on the dash. So I would want to mount them behind the bottom lip of the dash so they would be out of sight and not an eye-sore but would be easy to reach and you just set them by feel. You could even mount one of them on the dash next to the starter button for routine on/off and then when you needed extra security just reach under the dash and scramble up the "combo" a bit. Use three position switches to make even more "combo" options with fewer physical switches.
Yes it would be easy to circumvent, but how long would it take someone to figure out what you did? Especially if it is all wrapped up in electrical tape, or the switches are mounted on a box so you can't see where the wires are hooked up.

Thanks for all the help. You'll be pleased to know that the switch is history. We drilled out the bolts and in the process ruined the switch so we are going ahead with the starter button option. I'll take some pictures when it's finished.
