Funnily enough I use Airtags to track my own cars in case one happens to go somewhere without me.
I have done exactly the same.
Best/Cheap form of tracking with no additional on going costs.

Looks like the Clublock might make a comeback.

my Clubbie has one ... which I use all the time (its on while parked in the driveway)
(as well as the alarm/immobiliser and tracker I added)

oh
it also has another anti-theft feature... its a manual :)

Thinking of getting one for the Magnum.

Not bad, and easy enough to make!
Easy to store behind the drivers seat.
Need to find a suitable padlock, don't think I have one around that's long enough.

I suspect it only suits the specic type of high-security lock - which costs about as much as the pedal lock plate.

Someone on this forum made one up to suit a manual.

Need to check my junk boxes, pretty sure I have a long Lockwood padlock that could be adapted.

I have been using a 'Prolock' steering lock for a few years on the CV8, and consider it a deterrent rather than prevention.

Video ..........
............. check out how the angle grinder is being used. What could possibly go wrong ? o_O
