    Removing a wheel is a definite visual deterent, but leaves the VX vulnerable to someone giving it a push and knocking it off of the stand.

    Maybe go back to the days of your youth and thread a cable through a couple of the wheels with a big padlock on it. I used to chain my bicycle to lamp posts that way.

    Removing the ignition & the main ECU fuses is enough to avoid anyone taking off with the VX
    As a visual deter the steering wheel lock is enough.
    Those bastards never takes chances trying get off the lock because time is the key & cutting the lock with a saw is just a waste of time.
    Dakar was just the begining.

    Is anything like a "Denver Boot" available? That's a big hunk of metal hanging on the tire/wheel that police use to immobilizer your car...should be a good deterrent. I also agree with Gussie, at least put a "Club" on the steering wheel....two good visual deterrents and it would certainly slow them down!

    Here's a few wheel locks some of my friends use on their travel trailer:

    Do you have any Bobbie mates? Have them put a Denver Boot on it. That sure would be a visual deterant

    6 claymores stratigicly placed around your VX with motion sensors should do the job!
