If they want it, they will get it.
A friend used to have fake coil wire. He made it so it would not conduct current but it looked exactly like a regular coil wire. If he was going to leave the car somewhere out (or in his garage) and wanted to disable the car he just put the fake on and hid the real one.

That doesnt stop em I have had a car stolen and burnt out, it was insured. I live in a good area, but recently had a package of parts ex USA stolen after the courier delivered them without obtaining a signature. The neighbour had a swing chair value $400 stolen the same day, yes this little island still has criminals like your big country that cant or wont hold a job down but will grab anything of anyones, without any conscience that it doesnt belong to them.

From the replies its alway good if your away on vacation etc to remove wheels etc and immobilise the ignition so they cant easily start it.

I have an alarm system that covers the house and garage and all gates. Any time it goes off they call the police immediately, but with the cut backs there may be none to call soon. The police drive by every so often and when the new police station is built it will be just about 500' from my house. I also have some hidden disconnect switches for power and breaking certain grounds.

Ant Lo-Jac is a great recovering system. I have a ring bolted into the garage floor and a 20 ton cable that loops the frame. No torches, cutoff tools in the garage. I have the garage blocked with either a truck or cars. The main thing is not to advertise you own the car. I know, you want to show it off. Well I have has friends of friends steal things over the years out of my garage. Motorcycles, blowers, race parts, and other things. I now have 2 dogs, one large and one small. They work great for night time. In the day I have good neighbors that watch each others homes. Not sure in your country but guns are still allowed. A new law in jersey now protects the thiefs from shooting them, well private property is just that. I have short and long range things in the home for protection. If you make things too hard they will burn the car in the garage. You can bet they will scope out what you have done to protect your property. Don't leave car in driveway without a cover on it. The rest of your ideas are good. I still like the claymore idea, if the guy is dumb enough to try and steal you car, he's ready to go to hell in a heartbeat. Rick L. Ps most car are now getting stole by either towtrucks or trailer rigs that are sitting around the corner. They know what the car is worth and how easy it is to re title and paint.

How many Cobras are there in New Zealand? Dang, is it as bad as New York?

Here is a suggestion: Put a limited time device that kills itself if the car is not started within a specific time.
