Suppose a thief switches out your ECU with a stock one
Inspired by Smurfzilla's response in this thread here:

If a thief swaps out your ecu, are there any mods that will prevent the car from being able to start and/or gingerly driven away?
At first I wanted to say yes, but the more I think about it, a manual fuel kill switch may be the only thing.

Layer your security.
Never share it with anyone.
If they want it, they will get it.
The only device I'm aware of that has yet to be defeated is a wheel boot.
ECU removal is worthless as thieves often carry their own ECU.
Don't use a fuel pump kill switch, use a momentary contact fuel pump switch for the fuel pump. It's much safer.

I would think both of those would cause a serious issue with a stock tuned ecu. Speed density would probably be the biggest hurdle to get passed as the car doesn't run without the maf.

unplug your injector resistor pack, but leave it hanging there. It is very hard to see, and will look like everything is good to go.
Take main relay with your when you park.
I am happy I don't live where you guys do, damn ***** are serious about stealing cars over there.

If they want it bad enough they will get it. Your job is to make it a pain in the *** to get. And yes different map sensors, speed density vs maf make it difficult for an amateur but to just get it moved off your property to a place where they have time to flat bed it away. You'd be s
