#2 is decent TBH (or killswitch or pedal lock), yes they can be circumvented, but they are deterrent enough usually, since most thefts these days are sit and go, especially with the advent of keyless cars.
My friend had fusible links and a keypad installed in his car. You had to punch in the correct key combination to start it, and if you got it wrong then the fuses would pop and it would be physically impossible to start the car until you replaced them. A bit drastic, but it was a rare collector’s car and we lived in a high theft area.

Ghost ignition is better. RFID and like 100 bucks. Easy to install.
