I've been thinking about something similar as i have removed the front fog lights, i have a cunning "spare" switch that i could use for such a security mod. Most people wouldn't think twice about having to switch on the front fog lights before the ignition works...
Another job for the weekend!
Immobilise...
I gave up leaving nice cars in airports, just couldn't relax on holiday, the London airports are all pretty secure. How do they get out of the car park for a start without a ticket? the main worry is people coming and going \ scratching the paintwork (Tesco's style 
)
Best bet is a trusted friends garage surely? out of site, out of mind

Some of them require you to leave the keys - there is one in Hayes like that - and there have been stories...

If it's just a VAG thing, I'm surprised our insurance premiums haven't rocketed, or have been made uninsurable unless a 3rd party immobiliser is added.
btw, the car survived Gatwick Long Term parking for a week - none of this ' we'll park it for you sir ' mullarky for me
Is this just a VAG thing, or are other manufacturers cars as easy to steal too ?how do you think thieves steal new cars with ecu immobilisers?
Just plug in a box and then they can use a screwdriver to start the car.
