I lived in Los Angeles for 30+ years and had a total of 5 break ins (lost stereos, leather jackets, backpacks, etc.)all in toyotas and 1 stolen VW scirrocco. Always locked my steering wheel which maybe why my yotas were never taken.

Now the first thing I put in when I get a new ride is the alarm, usually the next day after purchase, next clubs, pedal lock (attaches to brake pedal), then hood lock. They don't have lo-jack where I live now, but if I still lived on the W. coast, I would get it in a heartbeat.

I now live in KY where grand theft does not seem to be much concern by everyone here and they call me paranoid, but I have past experiences to back up my paranoia. If you love your toyota, criminals love them too - protect your loved ones!
