All of the above is great advice. When I have to leave mine on the street - NYC - for a few days, I move it every day so it's not in the same spot. Also, there are so many other high end cars that are more desirable for a cut up shop or a ship abroad operation - i think i am more likely a target for someone looking for a joy ride.

A Gluck?...come on man, cruisers deserve something a little more classier than that.
When I'm done with the restoration I'll leave this guy in there as mush as possible

I use an insurance policy. But the places I go in the 40 are relatively low risk.
Patina deters theft.
i was taught from a very early age that the best offence against Land Cruiser Chop Shop Bandits is a good solid well kept sharp and true , lubed with WD-40 at each oil change is a MONEY idea , or in short a good defense ...
- sharp true and NOT all worn down to Butter Knife Status Keys in hand is nothing less then a solid plan !
- a sloppy old butter knife status land cruiser actually wears and tears the guts of your key lock cylinders at a aggressive rate , and smoked old saggy and all get out locks are super easy to pick or force turn with a flat head screw driver ....
- now , a NEW OEM key cylinder lock ?
- picking it is next to impossible , starting in 1973 the DOUBLE EDGE cut Keys came on the TOYOTA scene and did there job well too ....

I'm reading a lot of fear here! Are you all in developing countries?!
I have a 77 HJ45; if I was really afraid of my community (all of whom can drive a manual), then I might put a clothes peg on the Engine Stop knob. Finding the glow plug switch would stop most people, and the handbrake will stop the rest anyway.

They're more like an improvement over the original.....and this time i apparently had not taken the key out of it.
I don't know what made me think of this thread over a year later, but thought maybe a suppressed FNX might be more soothing.
I) my alarm has teeth and knows how to use them, one like it killed 6 out of a pack of 11 wolves, and two can kill an adult bear. Also, is not food motivated.

3) Always park next to bedroom window.
4) Multiple high resolution security cameras.
Others have used fuel shutoffs, Ignition kill switches, removed rotors from distributor.
