Well it is just a good rule when working on a vehicle. Having typed that do I do it every time, no.
Why, there was a member who left his hooked up and was working on something like the IP or some else timing related. His brother wanted to move the car and tried to start it. I don't remember the specifics or the outcome, but he was less than happy when he posted about it. So unless the OP is the only one at that house or with keys, he may want to pull the cable. That should make it harder to start the car.
