I have a plan.... maybe a little beyond where you would want to stand
legally....  but here goes.

If its running and there is a genuine key in the ignition then there needs
to be two modifications...
1. fit a small rubber block about 100 grams in front of the air bag.=20
2. reprogram the airbag controller...... to operate in event of either
removal of ignition key opening window releasing parking brake...=20

Place notice on steering wheel (in several languages) informing the illegal
occupant that he (or she) better call the police or will likely get knocked
out. (100g of flying rubber to the nose should do it nicely)
