Have it done professionally. You will save on your car insurance as long as it's
automatic. Had it put in my 96 Caravan when I bought it in 98 and it has a
automatic 30 second activation after the door is closed.

Aside from all the other opinions.. Not sure if you'd be comfortable with
this...

Cut your yellow starter wire. Hook the two ends to an always open toggle
switch. Now, the switch is always open, so it will always start, until you
flip the toggle switch, then the current will be prevented from traveling
past it to start the car. Pretty simple to do, hard part it finding a good
place to mount the switch.

Just flip the switch when you get out, and if he doesn't know about the
switch, he wont be able to start it. Could also use an always closed push
button that might be easier to hide very well, but you'd have to be pushing
the button in while your turning the key, that might get old.....

Do NOT use a "switch"! Use a momentary push button in series with the
ignition start switch. NOW what you will have is officially called a
"PASSIVE KILL BUTTON". You have to push it with one hand while
starting the car with the other hand. (or use a knee if the PB (push
button) is under the dash).

A Passive Kill Button will not only frustrate your neighbor, it will
slow down any prospective thief so much that he or she is likely to
give it up. This is known by the Auto Insurance Industry. In the US
you can get a 15% discount on your comprehensive insurance by driving
to your local insurance company and showing the "adjuster" that the
car will not start with just the ignition switch! 15% - RM

Or, just take off your coil wire when you stop using your van, If it has
one.
