I agree that you have a really difficult airplane to be stolen, but you also have many points-of-failure …

Planes are not made of material that will prevent a thief from breaking in and
stealing avionics, etc. Alarms will not get anyone's attention. When is the last time
you came running over to some idiots car that was alarming!
The security that we have come to hate around airports should help some here.
To prevent the plane from being stolen, my solution is complexity.
To start my plane you must:
Turn on the master, turn on the engine battery, (one alone will not cut it, requires
both), turn on power to injectors, turn on power to igniters, turn on power to engine
computer, turn on power to fuel pump, set mixture to full rich, give 2-3 squirts of
primer, hit start button.
I ain't sayin' that crooks are too stupid to start my plane, but...as long as it took me
to figure it out....some intelligence needs to be rewarded!

Carlos,
That is true. However, there is two of everything…

Okay...here's a guy with a foolproof Tesla Force Field:
http://tesladownunder.com/Tesladownunder's%20Car%20Theft%20Pevention%201000.jpg
The function of a blinking led on the panel is nicely satisfied by LV Warning Annunciators. I sell one, many people do.
My plan is to have NO visible door locks. The remotes auto-parts guys sell are very reliable. I haven't EVER used my Jeep door key. For internal security, I have a handle to pull, in emergencies that: Turns off the fuel, triggers the ELT, disconnects the battery, and perhaps several aother features. When the handle is removed, stealing the airplane would be very hard.
I also want to have control handles (full of interlocks and electronics) that can be removed for security by Amphenol-Cannon connectors.
We live in a world where a video of the thief is easy to capture, personal possessions can be tracked, and being a thief is a dicey way to make a living. See:
