Would appreciate advice on how best to secure my California?

Have looked at steering wheel locks, pedal locks and Bear locks (which I believe is a manual installation that prevents the van being taken out of reverse gear?) Does this work for automatics? Also considering a tracker device/apple tag. Would be great to know other owners thoughts? Thanks

I just trust the built in security by VW (immobiliser and alarm) and my insurance

It might help to know where you keep your van and also speak to your insurance company as they are likely to require some form of tracking.
In addition to hidden security, we also use a yellow standard steering wheel bar as a visual warning. We know it could probably be removed but it would slow someone down.
