Does anyone have any additional security devices fitted to their car? Is this just for peace of mind or is it to be a necessity for where you live.

I can confirm this is the case in the UK and i know of a few VWs been targeted for there alloys of late.101st_IanC said:McGards Locking wheel bolts..
There are very limited number of keys for the bolts that come as standard (9 I believe) and there fore are easy to get hold of.
I had some McGard Ultras on my TT and will get some on the Golf..

The VW OEM system works because folks who steal know the VW system is too much of a problem to overcome and make the car run. They go for easier targets. They don't even consider attempting to steal a VW.

Icranon said:Yeah but if you have a custom trunk/hatch with all carbonfiber panels on the sides, and 2 12'' w7s on them, xr series speakers from jl audio, and a dvd player/nav unit from alpine you need somethin better than stock. Go with viper, i had them in the past and it was the best alarm to use.

I have had 2 cars stolen with 1 resulting in a fatality. Nothing can describe the feeling of coming out and NOT seeing your car where you left it. Its quite horrible. Then seeing yourself on CNN becuase as your stolen car was speeding around Phoenix and plowing into oncoming traffic, another was in a hi-speed chase with the POPO.
I still have nightmares about my GTI not being parked where I left it....its sickening.
