You can either lock the steering wheel in the trunk, or take it in to the restaurant with you (yes, Chas., that was for you). Removing the steering wheel also discourages people from sitting behind the wheel and playing "vrrooomm, vrrooomm."
3) Consider some obvious physical security to thwart pushing/towing away. What I use from time to time is a very heavy cable lock looped through the wheels.

1. Yes, I have several battery backups... one for the actual system and a backup Siren with backup battery built in.
2. Got that one covered... i.e, I will have a quick-release steering hub
3. this is a good idea. I have for my car hauler trailer a "hook" device to the wheel.... see link. maybe one for the car?
