Im probably being paranoid..
I just dont want to loose it!
Its got a Cat 1 immobiliser on it, and no steering wheel... But someone could easily drag it onto a trailer!
Disco Matt:
Years ago, I read a very ancient book about car accessories. Apparently at one time you could get a lock for handbrakes that would prevent them being released without the key. Maybe something similar could be rigged with a solenoid and central locking, so even if they managed to break in they wouldn't be able to take the brakes off? You could also consider one of those "Clutch Claw" devices, that plus vehicle parked in gear will mean that even if they got the handbrake off it still wouldn't move.
A removable steering wheel is a very good start - I'm trying to persuade my parents to add one to their motorhome alongside the other rather cunning home-made security systems (which for obvious reasons I won't go into here).
Tommo:
i remember those things that lock the handbrake and the gearstick together. every old sierra used to have one. bright yella thing.
Disco Matt:
I think this was a keylock that was somehow built into the handbrake lever - it replaced the button you press to release the ratchet with a lockable one.
2CVs had something similar, but not lockable. If you turned the button one way it wouldn't allow you to press it, which I suppose might have confused a thief for all of thirty seconds...
Defender:
I've got a Centinel C1 security post.
