Default car security?

now that my saph may be living outside a bit more than normal, i want to make it as secure as possible, its got an alarm/immobiliser, and a disk lock on it, is there any other add on security bits worth investing in? is there some kind of gearstick lock? any thatcham approved bits?

what have you got

a paranoid rs owner

cheers

think so.. I personally would install a nifty switch hidden somewhere to cut the ECU power rather than keep removing it

it's not hard to stop them driving it away the hard part is not getting it lifted
only thing i can think off is a seriously deeply bedded post to lock with the towing eye?

most of the cossies/scoobys i've heard of have been lifted or handing the keys over on threat of a shoeing/shooting/stabbing
