My pick would be to use the hazard lights switch, as it would be too easy
for the thief to knock the indicator switch to the "enable" position
accidentally. This would then mean using an otherwise unused position on the
dash for the hazard lights, by fitting an accessory switch into a blank
switch position. You only seem to run out of blank positions on the highest
end cars :), and you should be able to get a suitable switch from the dealer
to go in the hole.
