Default Ford Ba Bf FG Security Thread

Hi all,

i am a member of a few facebook 'stolen cars' groups. There seems to be a huge issue with VF SS and HSV models getting stolen at the moment, with the thieves seemingly covering up indicators with tape, smashing a window, re-programming ecu to use their key and driving away. All in probably under a minute.

Also heard several stories where people had air tag type trackers put on their cars by the thieves (from shopping centres or car parks etc) and then the cars stolen in the days or weeks ahead.

This is super concerning to me. So this brings me to my question here:

Is this a rampant problem with performance BA BF FG falcons? I don't hear about many being stolen.

What are people doing to prevent theft on our beloved falcons?

I have all the usual personally: Behind locked gate, 2 rollers doors, locked in shed with keys in safe, a tracker hidden in vehicle, usually disconnect a fuse or other plug, as well as over-insured with good agreed value, as well as buy back for the BA. Apart from maybe installing a bollard behind them, are people doing anything extra to the cars themselves to prevent these zombies attacking?
