If I'm parking in a dodgy area, I'll put a steering wheel lock on. I bought an universal one, and cut it down a bit to fit. Haven't got an alarm, but have a tracker. I have a battery cut off switch, but my battery is easily accessible under the bonnet so am going to remove it as it's a bit pointless. If your battery is in the back, disconnect it with the cut off switch (but make sure there is still power going to the alarm and tracker.)

I never lock mine for two reasons: It’s pointless when the windows simply slide open. And, I ‘d rather someone simply opens the door to gain access, rather than slash the hood with a box cutter. Theft of the actual car is pretty rare I believe.
Many people ignore car alarms so I don’t think they are very effective. If you have an apple i-phone, you can buy a simple tracking device for £20 or so and hide it in the car.
It’s always useful to give the year and model of Morgan when asking for advice. For instance, if you have a more modern Morgan with fuse boxes easily accessible under the bonnet, you could easily remove a fuse or relay.

Yep, mine is on the drive under a cover. I have a wheel clamp on at home, and she's also chained to house using a wall anchor (chain passes through spare wheel hole).
I also have two security cameras out front.

I just park it and don't lock it.. I have insurance. It is rare to steal a mog.
