No, just found my paperwork. It was just over $500 including install.
Figured it was still cheaper than replacing my junk.
And you get 2 plugs.

When I first got my Runner, I pulled EFI relay at trailhead parking. When I got back to truck, forgot where it placed it! Took awhile before I recovered from altitude-induced absent-mindedness, then found it. - LOL!
After that, I installed multiple, reliable kill switches. No plugs to lose or misplace.

a fiercely protective dog works pretty well. unfortunately, you can't leave the dog in the vehicle while you go on vacation. there are not many thieves that are interested in messing with a dog - the dog is unknown, and therefore its behavior is unpredictable. perfect as a deterrent. one of my dogs from years ago was excellent at vehicle security. i could leave him in the car, with all the windows down, key in the ignition (running even, if i wanted) and the car would still be there when i got back, nothing missing. dog wouldn't get out of the car unless i told him to (couldn't be enticed out by anyone, using treats), and if you weren't me, or with me, you weren't getting in the car. no exceptions.

I remember as a kid seeing at Pep Boys a club that would electric shock anyone who tried to touch it. This was probably late 90's to early 2000's. It must have been discontinued at this point. I'm not sure how legal that would be nowadays. It looks very effective though. Maybe you could obtain a used one?

Removable steering wheel, alarm, and fix the clutch pedal to where it doesn't start when pressed. Have to use the clutch start cancel to start it.
Ravelco
Ravelco is a pretty neat antitheft thing.
Just don't use the triangular Ravelco from Brazil. That one is junk and is dangerous to use.

APRS: Automatic Packet Reporting System
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Packet_Reporting_System
Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS) is an amateur radio-based system for real time tactical digital communications of information of immediate value in the local area.[1] APRS data is typically broadcast on a single shared frequency (depending on country) to be repeated locally by area relay stations and digipeaters for widespread local consumption. In addition, all such data is typically ingested into the APRS Internet System (APRS-IS) via an internet connected receiver (igate) and distributed globally for ubiquitous and immediate access. Shared information contains global coordinates, altitude, speed, heading, text messages, alerts, announcements, and bulletins. The most visible aspect of APRS is its capability of map display. Anyone may place any object or information on the map, and it is distributed to all maps of all users in the local RF network or to anyone monitoring the area via the Internet. Any station, radio, or object broadcasting GPS coordinates to the APRS system can be automatically tracked over time. Other prominent map features are weather stations, alerts and objects and other map-related amateur radio volunteer activities including Search and Rescue and signal direction finding.
APRS has been developed since the late 1980s by Bob Bruninga, callsign WB4APR, currently a senior research engineer at the United States Naval Academy. He still maintains the main APRS website. The acronym "APRS" was derived from his callsign.

hardly. it does you no good once you leave the vehicle.
it's great as self-defense, but not as a theft-deterrent.

Oh you don't understand. If your worried about theft you don't leave the vehicle in any place out of sight or in bad locations. The weapon is to kill the sorry sack of crap trying to break in braise you parked in a place you can see and observe

good luck with that. my dog is far more effective. i don't need to have the vehicle in sight at all. in fact, your statement was "best anti-theft". hard to read that any other way, no?
if you aren't parked in bad locations, the handgun, by your definition, is superfluous.

I have the Grant removable steering wheel and other anti theft ideas.
This idea kept my Trekker from being stolen at work a couple of years ago after some low life oxygen thief trashed my ignition

So this is an idea I have had to slow down oxygen thieves for awhile.
Won't stop a determined individual but with a couple of my other anti theft deals it will slow them down..
