auto theft

how hard are the 2004 cl's to steal? the reason i'm asking is because i had lincoln mark viii and someone broke my side window, got in the car and attempted to start it. it turned over but wouldn't start due to a cutoff switch i personally installed to the ignition coil. this saved the car. can our cars be some how jump started and what would you recommend to use with a cut off switch in our cars to prevent theft? the cl is a lot more complex.
thanks

Every car can be stolen. The version of the drive authorization for your car has been cracked long ago and there are commercial tools.

If everything else fails- a tow truck always works.
