Default Vehicle Security

Just want to know how many Vette owners out there have some sort of security devices in place on their cars. What are the most effective devices on the market today. I am thinking of installing a collar around my steering column. Anyone have something like this in place and how do you like it? I know there are many devices on the market. Just taking a poll on who's using what.

I'm thinking the best system would be a satelite tracking system.
So when it's flatbedded off somewhere I can find it's carcass...

I do not have anything special, but then again, the car is never truly left out of my sight.

I use a combination of a battery kill switch and the Autolock(Club-type locking device that hooks under the brake or clutch pedal).

IMO, if they have a hook, I guess they have the car, but without a damn smart theif who knows electronics super well, it won't run....I use an RF keyed interlock on the computer...coded....

Mines in the garage with a Smith and Wesson system that seems to works pretty well :blueangel:

I also have one of those locks that clamp onto the clutch pedal so you can't use it. Kind of hard to drive a car without the clutch. I know it can be done, but not easily. And, it's only a 76 so no REAL thief is going to take it anyway - just some punk looking for a joy ride.
