I've used steering wheel locks like "The Club" for many years on all of my collectible cars. Also inserted bad fuses instead of leaving any slots empty. Master power switches always became problem areas.

None of these techniques prevented a flatbed theft attempt that I once thwarted. LoJack just makes it easy for police to recover cars that have been stripped or abandoned and to sometimes locate chop shops.

We use a steel brided theft cable with the lock built into the end. It is run thru the rear wheel and bar under the car. A bolt cutter will not work, a cut off battery metal saw will but the noise is a problem. For a risky situation there is one on each side. We also have an alarm.
Will use some of the other good ideas.

When we travel with the Chevy truck I disconnect the battery, pull the dist/coil wire and or stuff cloth into the aircleaner intake.

I had a switch on one of the trucks that sent elec to the horn rather than the starter when the key was turned on. Instead of starting, the horn honked.

I may have talked to a government guy that said Tiajunia, Mexico had so many lojacks going off that it sounded like a loud high school band. Signals everywhere and a bunch of them.

Now that is a great and hilarious idea. Would be fun to actually leave the key in the car and watch the crook attract the attention of everyone around.

As for towing: yep. No real defense except a strong gate, a garage, biting German Shepard, and a Ruger .40-caliber. Oh ... the Black Belt doesn't hurt, either. As for carjacking ... Ruger X Black Belt = ... Darwinian reduction in steet thugs.

I do like the flame-thrower, though ...

removable steering wheel. My accountant had a good laugh when I walked in with my steering wheel in my hand.

I have that same Mossberg 500 with the pistol grip and heat shield leaning behind my bed. Be careful you don't damage the paint on your 911 when using it to deter a thief.

I was just thinking how much money I'd save if someone stole my car and I didn't replace it.
