Park desired vl into large remote roller door shutting garage, connected to the house/other building and made of brick with no windows and a tin roof. Once Vl is parked in garage chain up to steel rings bolted to the garage floor with 2inch iron chain, weighing 20kg per 10cm lengh. Chain to the strenghtned tow points on the chasis of the car. Now enable your 5 motion activated lasers and thermal/nightvision cameras, with bullet proof lenses that are stratigically located around the garage and press the door close button on the wall to enable all systems. Exit with in 7 seconds. Once outside, confirm with your hired 24hr security that all systems have been switched on.

Combine this with a decent car alarm with a few loud screamers and hidden strobe lights and many kill switches it should be fine. Also to help prevent it from being broken into you should somehow make it harder to slide the internal lock switch. Somehow make it require alot of strength to slide it as this will make it harder to slide something in to unlock it. you can also use the car boot lock to lock your wheels. The Clublock is also good. You can use pedal locks and even wrapp a chain around the pedals and then chain it to the steering wheel.
3 feet? Why even bother having a fence?

Dig yourself a massive moat around your house and raise the drawbridge.
Simple.

pah.... all your ideas.... they are funny.... if u really wanna get the suckers, as i have said before
SEAT COVERS
30 Cm ruler
a few 4" nails (rusty of course)
hammer
method
1. put seat covers on car, cut tiny 2" slit on the side of drivers one
2. with ruler, hammer and rust nails, hammer a few nails along the ruler, in different places
3. when you LEAVE the car, LEAVE it unlocked (drivers door only) and place ruler, pointy side up
4. set up video camera close to car, and inside looking at drivers seat
5. (best part) wait, lookin from somewhere hidden at the potential thief, look at you drivers door, wonder why its open, and get in
option....
on the bottom side of the ruler place some switches, connedted to a few hi energy coils in turn connected to the nails
when enough weight is placed on ruler, switches will goto on position, thus shocking the **** out of the guy that just sat on rusty 4" nails
im cruel, but ive had a car stolen....
usually they dont sit in gently, they jump in the car too... hahaha....

You know a simple thing to do, even though I live up north and its prolly not going to work down there, I just disconnect the Crank angle sensor plug but not pull it off the whole way - If I am going away for an extended period, this will give the car no spark and will not start.
Oh I lock the wheels at full lock and steering lock it. And lock the doors in a garage with no windows and two entrances, one is the roller door the other goes straight into my room, where a Metal Baseball bat sleeps beside me as well as a 12'' Bowe knife!!!!!! lol.....
Oh and My pet Quaryanne........

Everytime you hop out of your car pop the bonnet and take off the lead from the Ignition Coil and put it in your pocket

unfortunately bottom line is if they want it they will take it. IMO most VL thiefs, are actually VL enthusiasts. No one knows a VL like a VL owner.

you run the + from the coil under your seat and poke it up through the fabric, then every time they try to start it it will zap them, and if they do get it started there gunna have a fun ride.
