I put a knife-type battery switch in the battery compartment.  Most
thieves don't know squat about VWs, so they probably won't think to
look there.

Another idea I have toyed with but haven't done yet is a simple
hidden toggle switch that disconnects the fuel pump.  A "poor man's"
way to do this is to pull the fuel pump relay and sticking it in your
pocket, but that's not particularly convenient.

'course none of that will deter a tow truck type of theft.
