Heard on Radio 2 yesterday, Police are advising drivers, of top end luxury cars, to use Old Skool, security devices, from the 90s, because, car thieves are so up to date, with hacking modern alarms.
Someone told me that the other day and I nearly laughed my conkers off. In the 80s and 90s, serious car thieves used to get past most of those devices in less than 30 seconds and sometimes less time than it took to put them on. If someone is going to take the time to get past modern security and defeat the satellite tracking system (standard equipment since the 997 launched remember, and they have no way to know if it is registered and in use), a krooklock is not really going to hold them back is it...?keep it lit said:

I always thought the gear lever locks that were actually fitted to the car (welded on underneath in the tunnel) looked to be one of the most effective devices, convenient to use too. Similar thinking to the old Saab ignition switch by the gear lever where you had to be in reverse to remove the key - much harder to force that kind of lock than a steering lock.
Dipol principally, and also Mul-T-lock. Im not sure that Dipol locks are still available, but they were superb. It's true, the thieves are using advanced electronic tools to get into vehicles and drive them away. It can be done. I proved it recently by bypassing the immobiliser on a modern Toyota in less than 2 minutes. Any electronics engineer with the right tools, software and knowledge can do it.
I use a Disklock on my 2013 C63, previously used on my 1991 Toyota Corolla GTi-16.
