On fomoco cars i have spliced kill on fuel pump inertia switch loop.But not sure if cherokee has inertia shutoff.
Does fuel pump harness route through cab,or underneth body?

Put the t-case in neutral. It won't move even if they can get the jeep started. Also quadratec sells the fuel kill switch. They say its for storage purposes

Get a well worn holster and leave it (empty) on the dash, right above the gauges.
And no, the fuel pump wiring does not have any inertia or any other kill switches from the factory.
I had an old Pontiac that you could start without a key so I routed the starter solenoid (relay) circuit through the cigarette lighter (as a switch) to keep it from being taken.

Years ago, I came up with this idea of connecting all conductive surfaces on the vehicle with an electrical charge/field so that, when a person came in contact with the vehicle...BZZZZZT------POOF! Then I was told something about the legality of it...something about assault or something...........pssh

Does your vehicle have a standard ignition coil? Take the coil wire off and put it in your pocket while you are away from the vehicle.
Install a vacuum line with boots on it to look like the coil wire.
Or remove the ECU fuse. Or pull the fuel pump fuse or relay.
Remove the ignition rotor.
Disconnect the electrical connector from the distributor.
