I hate seeing posts about Type R's getting stolen. Here are a few good/inexpensive products to keep your car safe!

I do not have a set but have heard that the locking lug nuts from Advanced Wheel Locks are very difficult to remove without the lock key.

I guess the question is if it is worth it to include in the multilayered approach. OBD port lock, kill switch, steering wheel lock, AirTag, wheel locks. All can be defeated. But taken together, maybe the potential thief would decide to pass because it’s too much time and effort? Or is it something they would laugh at and say “why even bother?”
I am not sure...

It seems bulky, not easy to store, not easy to put on and take off. fairly easily defeated.

I also decided against any system with GPS/Cellular service, as these are very easy to jam with a simple inexpensive jammer.

I am still looking for a satisfactory way to prevent flatbed or tow truck heist.
