take the keys with you/leave them with a friend/something along those lines

if you are looking for something a little more mechanical/drastic and you have to ask, you probably shouldn't be doing it anyway

Disable the ignition and the fuel pump - replace the fuses with failed ones.
Make notes -

Maybe just buy a club/brake pedal lock and not give her the key.
