Default Question about removing ignition fuse for a precautionary

hey guys, went to see x-men 3 in a ghetto neighborhood, . . i took out the fuse to the ignition and tried turning it on, . . and the car didn't start obviously, . . . . after the movie - stuck it back in and drove home, . is this a safe thing to do on a regular basis?? and is there an easier way to take that big fuse out?? i wish it was the smaller fuses so i could take it out with needle nose pliers but its that big grey block one, . . . . i scraped some meat off my middle finger tryin to take that fudger out, . . . anyway, . . . thanx in advance!

Wire up a kill switch to the ignition. Then put the switch in a location where only you know about it.

Don't cut any then. They make special wire connectors for that.
