The Thatcham approved steering wheel 'Disc-lock' certainly will slow
them down a lot, and is pretty well protected against an angle
grinder.
Coupled with an alarm with pager it will keep away most thieves.

Except the ones with a low loader and a crane.


Exactly, anything can be stolen, thieves in Russia stole a bridge a
few weeks ago.Â* But in general thieves are deterred by anything that
slows them down, makes a noise or attracts attention in any other way.


If you have ever had the misfortune to watch 'overhaulin' you will
have been struck by how easy it is and how little attention is paid to
people in hi vis loading a stolen vehicle onto a tow truck.


Everyone assumes its official or the owner ordered it



Certainly, but that is not a common method of theft, in the OP case a
decent steering lock and an alarm would have been very likely to have
deterred the theft.

Oh. Did you steal it then?

I didnt see any mention of HOW it was stolen
