Start with a disclock, then there are all sorts of pedal locks and hidden switches and don't leave it anywhere hidden

Having lost a Discovery that was winched onto a recovery truck in full view of CCTV - despite locks, alarm, immobiliser, and a big bar through the steering wheel - I know it is all pointless if someone wants it enough for parts or export. So perhaps the best defence is to make the vehicle look tatty and all worn out?

As my mate Alex was wont to say "A lock only stops an honest man"

The best security is to have a vehicle that nobody wants to steal: a scaffy, tatty shed.....
