.... Then they accessed obd port and coded a new key to ECU. ....
What's the point of having a coded key if it's that easy?
Does that mean that all the stuff about needing the red-head key to make a new key is nonsense, and a lost one can be got round by this method?
Well done, Lee. I hope you got some good cake out of that from neighbour.

Really nice to see that the youngsters have sound hobbies instead of just sitting at home playing computer games or watching Netflix

Bunch of caravans stored at the farm behind me was stolen. They drove across fields, hitched them up and drove off out of some 'newly made' fence opening. Never seen again.

Steel pedal boxes and steering wheel locked covers slow them down as does locking OBD port in metal box.
If you fit a tracker to your bike, it sends speed position and time to a server every 30 secs, whilst bike is moving.
Keep in mind if you like using the fun control hard.

I've seen a few people suggest disconnecting the ODB port and wiring up a different port in a hidden location. I think I'd then want to try and wire up the original port to a high voltage to try and knacker their computer.

I keep my car key in a box wrapped in aluminium foil. (A Faraday cage or something or other). I had hoped this might have added difficulty for the crims, but maybe not at all...

Put your keys in an old biscuit tin or some such but put the lid on then radio signal will be unreadable, Faraday Cage

Here in Berkshire UK there are dozens of cars vans, all sorts removed from driveways.
I don't even lock my car at home as nothing much in there.
But I do use this. Over 20 years old and it's going nowhere.

i wonder if you could have a discreet OBD and a dummy one connected to battery/booster and fry their equipment?

Aye, but you would need to warn anyone doing any servicing on your vehicle, or stand for a very big damages claim!!
