What car security do you use?

Just wondered what others use on their precious MK1!
My Golf came with an immobiliser that had been fitted in the '90's with a key fob that you held on some pins but I removed it as it wasn't very easy to use and only had one key!
I appreciate I'm not going to stop a professional car thief but at least I could try and stop the opportunist. I'm not sure whether to get another immobiliser, an alarm or a steering lock so I'd be interested in hearing what others recommend.
Thanks.
Matt.

Also have central locking fitted and the same time but what's different about mine is that it's not wired up to kill the battery.
But wired up behind the clocks and it kills the fuel pump stone dead.
So to disable it you'd pretty much have to remove the dash and then know what the heck you are doing!
Not that expensive either.

They lock around the pedal cluster to make moving the car pretty tricky.
Quite a nice visual deterent and endorsed by The Stolen VW Register. (The stolen vw register)
Find them on our website here.

Personally I would consider investing in a Tracking system too, just in case your Alarm / Immobiliser / big scary dog doesn't put the theives off.
