The cars that have been stolen have not been specifically targeted or specifically wanted. It looks like they follow the victims and wait for them to park, and then, very quickly unlock and start the car and drive it away before anyone notices. A killswitch would certainly buy time if not completely stop the robbery.

What you described sounds very much like the thieves are using a device to copy/clone the RFID signal from the key fob. They have to be very nearby for this technique for work, but basically once they get the signal, they have your "key." They press a button on their device and they can unlock the car just like the key fob. Once inside, the car will recognize the signal as if the key was in the car.

A (well) hidden toggle switch on the clutch pedal or brake pedal sensor wire will prevent the car from starting, but as others have pointed out, at this point they are already in the car so the killswitch will likely only slow them down.
