Default Car security HELP!!!!

Right, My sisters Escos Replica is attracting attention from the wrong type of people where we live.
We only have 1 garage where my Escos lives.
I guess they assume hers is real as i have a genunie escos, anyway...
It has a clifford G4 alarm my husband installed, and we have boxed it in for now....

what would you recomend?

Snap off steering wheel was an idea, but cant find them ?
and good crook locks? ie steering, hand brake or gear locks??

thanks.

Annika

Yea thats the one. Normally yellow or Silver. Ł50 from what I remember.

I haven't seen any good handbrake or gear stick locks on the market, but others on here may of.

Is the car on a driveway?

If so, you could possibly look at installing something like this

As the post above says, a Disklok is an essential item for any car. I'm sure most of us cossie owners have one on our cars that are parked in our garages, let alone if they were parked on the street!!! Just incase you are unsure of the exact one, follow the link below:

install a hungry rotweiler

plug in to the mains

get one of them posts concreted in the drive

sit in the car with a shotgun
