Is removing the (2 ??) fuel pump fuses an option or would it cause problems if they tried to start it ?

I was thinking along the same lines, and wondering if removing the fuel pump fuse or splitting the wires to the ignition coil could cause engine damage. If the thief tries to start the engine the dynomo will turn the engine that is starved of fuel or spark.
In the first instance can it destroy the ignition coil, the spark plugs or drain the battery?
In the second instance can it flood the engine with excess fluid and drain the battery?
Do any of the above lead to the car throwing off fault codes?
