Range Rover Blues:
A few ideas for you mate (and anyone else)
Get a big yello DiskLock on the steering wheel, you only need the medium so hunt around for a good price, the large one is £100 in towsure :o so expect around £80
Get a wheel clamp, a bloody great yellow one, that'll tell 'em you're onto them.
Buy a dummy CCTV camera and stick it in the upstairs bedroom window, if it's got a LED on the front you can bet they will see it. I got a wireless CCTV a few months back and havn't had so much as a flat tyre since (kids) because everybody can see it when it's dark.
If you can't stretch to an alarm (£50 upwards in Maplin, DIY) then fit some hidden isolator switches to you ignition circuit, starter etc. (had a mate a few years back, theives had defeated his alram, steering lock etc and pushed the car into the road, when they tried to hotwire it they couldn't, defeated by a £2.75 switch under the dash, otherwise it would have been gone). Also thing about a battery isolator (small bypass fuse for your radio etc).
If the same happens and you are really bricking it then go out and let the tyres down, I'm not kidding they will b****er off for the night, too much hassle.
If it's petrol, remove the rotor arm. Take the fuel pump fuse out of an EFi and replace it with a dud one.
Fit a small fuel tap in the fuel line, if it gets nicked you'll find it at the end of the road.
Here's a good one for an auto, wire up the inhibitor switch to a relay in the LT of the ignition, it will start but when they select R or D it will cut out, often they will abandon it there and then as people will be looking.

Unfortunatley whilst we like to feel safe when at home theives take advantage of this and so you are more likely to loose your car whilst at home than at any other time. I've spent a lot on security this year, not because the car is valuable but because I've put a lot of my own time into getting it sorted, so it's worth a lot to me.
Maybe I should move to Texas, you get paid for shooting burglars there :D

I had something the same last year so i installed my WOOF alarm,they are very cheap ie:- do it for biscuits and walks.Yes they did come back and i was watching and yes it was great fun!,infact i went outside after they had run off and praised the dogs to be greeted by a smelly,yellow wet patch where they were stood.

I bought a Disklock at a reduced price from our local Police Station last year.
Saw an advert in our local shopping centre from crime prevention team.
Think it cost around £60 for a large one, they also logged down the serial numbers as well.

I had 5k's worth of motocross bike nicked 2 years ago, so i went out and got me self a 10 bore.
And i swear i will use it if i have to :wink:

I never leave my motors out for the thieves to pick off, but while away playing at weekends the motors are out at the mercy of the scum. We use 12 gauge shot gun blank tripwires on the perimeters of vehicles. This I can guarantee puts the wind up any potential thief, I also use them all around my property, not had a single trespasser for the last 4 years. One of the best deterrents you will ever invest in
