In one of the outlying towns arounf Manchester, the local scrotes steal SAABs, so any new SAAB in the area has to be stolen for street-cred. Car security in general, what good methods of securing our cars do we have? It's probably best not to discuss their workings too much in public :) I favour a reputable (reputably fitted) engine immobilizer, coupled with a large steering lock that covers the steering wheel. I have thought of a hidden flick switch for the ignition system and/or perhaps a timed relay, so any thief would get, say, 50 yards up the road and have the engine stall.
