Question What's your favorite anti-theft device?

Got my 01TT 6 months ago and although I have no reason to doubt the stock anti-theft system, I thought there might be something else I should consider.

Lojack?

The Club?

To be honest, any physical locks have worked the best for me. I had a MKIV Supra TT which was modded and I parked it overnight for months at a time on the streets in NYC at my mom's house. I had a steering wheel lock, brake lock, and transmission lock on the car. No incidents. Only way to steal the car would be to tow it.

Favorite anti-theft system

I don't have a favorite, but - LoJack is a vehicle-recovery system, not an anti-theft system. The main deterrent of any visible lock mechanism is to get the thief to go to the next car. If I wanted something more than what is standard for anti-theft, I'd look into a vehicle disabling device (fuel/ignition). I'd have real concerns, however, over the add-on's interfacing and not interfering with the car's existing software, PCNA warranty issues, etc.
