Rasbo:
just get a dog, mine goes nuts if she hears any thing. caught some1 trying to pinch mine whilst i was looking after the dog for my parents whilst at uni, unfortunatly for him i hadnt got round to fitting my new suspension, and he ended up with an extended shock around his head.

had my tyres slashed a week latter once i gave the dog back  :clap:
should have hit him harder imo

TDi90:
as does mine. but still, i would rather not only rely on a dog andy!

Litch:
This same thread has been running on one of the other foums recently with similar replies.
Put it like this, at the end of the day someone will take the vehicle if they really want to (lifting the vehicle onto a flatbed is easier than you might think) so all you can do is slow them down or make them move onto another poor victim.
I use several types of security and I am afraid I can't be bothered to go into all that again but in reply to the specific questions already raised I can answer two quite quickly.

Clucth Claw.
Been using it for several years now and I really like it, it is compact, fitted without the need for a key and would take several separate cuts with an angle-grinder to remove it and while they are doing that they are making a lot of noise.

Centinal C1 security post.
Top piece of kit and if correctly fitted it will stop almost anything getting past (if the base isn't fitted correctly then it will not do the job it was intended to). Not only is it made of heavy guage steel but the way it is designed puts a corner of the box-section against the vehicle which gives it far greater strength than if a flat edge was facing it. Several of the garages around here (including my BMW dealership) use it so that must speak volumes?
My father has managed to drive into his twice now causing hundreds of pounds worth of damage to the vehicle but the post has barely suffered chipped paint (from standing start to impact was about 18-inches).

Defender:
Centinel have a website: http://www.centinel.org.uk/
For anyone doubting the strength of a C1 security post, just take a look at the photo on the top right of their homepage (joyrider at 20mph  :doh: )
Other things to look at are battery isolation devices, handbrake locks, alarms etc. All to make them think again about stealing your pride & joy.
I think any type of security can be overcome with time & effort, but I believe in making things as hard as possible for the thieving scrotes.
