Your only ten mins from me, i'm just trying to think where the nearest settlement is.

There have been many good suggestions, and a few terrible ones.

If the OP doesn't atleast putt a car cover over it, then he's asking for trouble.
It's a shame that he has to be worried about it all though.

Could be a good idea

Even a few long ass chains and locks wrapped over will help, until you get them just use some rope, I know its not foolproof but lets face it, no one will lift a shell with a car cover on it onto a truck especially if they are trying to disguise themselves as being 'legit' as this will cause way too much attraction as its not normal, and if they want to be away quick they won't bother in the first place as its alot of hassle

I don't want to sound like I'm trying to get you paranoid here, I'm not, I'm just saying there is still things you can do, I know its a PITA and a shame you have to do this but end of the day this is the current times no matter where you are so chin up

Get a car cover for it. Then inside the car put up some signs in the windows saying "STOLEN, POLICE STOP THIS VEHICLE" Chances are it might scare them off

[Daviewonder]

Why not?

[Andrew O]

Why not?

Thanks for you advice but I don't really want my neighbours to see 'Police stolen' on my car the gypsies have seen the car before
