I am going to be leaving my car (120 petrol Prado) and boat trailer at a public car park next to a boat ramp while we go sailing and looking at what measures I need to implement to have the best chance of having them both there on my return, 2 weeks later!
At present I have;
I have a top of the range (Sarcen) coupling lock to secure the boat trailer to the car,
A steering wheel lock on the car.
Quality wheel lock nuts on the car and boat trailer wheels.
Heavy duty lock through two wheels of the trailer
I'm assuming that this will convince the average lazy thief to look for an easier target. I was considering a car alarm but rejected because they are often just ignored now and few people would bother responding or intervening.
I addition to the standard engine immobiliser, is there any modules or relays that I can remove and take with me to prevent the car from being started?
Even this would not stop the whole lot being dragged onto a float and taken away for dissection in a more discreet location but then there is really only so much one can do.
What additional measures would you take??
