When I had an old Land Rover, I was told to use a Disklok as being the only more or less effective deterrent to easy theft.
I passed this advice on to a pal of mine when he bought a second hand TD5 a few years ago; he didn't consider it necessary. The Landy disappeared from outside his house one night, never seen again.
He's had the replacement for three years now, and uses the Disklok every night.
I wondered when I saw your post if you used one at home, but felt safe enough to leave it off in a supermarket car park (as I would have). I doubt if it was an opportunistic theft, more likely they had targeted your car.
I'm glad the police took some notice. They wouldn't turn out, or investigate, the theft of my friend's car.
