It's hard to imaging something harder to steal than a key-started diesel coach. There is no steering interlock. You can easily unplug the starting switch, plug in another, and just let it dangle while you use a handy pocketknife or screwdriver to start the engine, all from the driver's seat.
I often think the best chance of getting it back if were stolen would be some big symbol on the roof that was easy to see by air.
The notion of a hidden kill switch has a lot going for it!
