It's sad, but the police really don't care about stolen vehicles, at least not down here. It's so bad that one lady called 911 after she was car jacked and said that her baby was in the car. They found the car in a few hours, but she had no baby. They charged her with a felony I think. Unless you have Lowjack, you're not getting your car back quickly (or often times in one piece).
The nice thing about Land Rovers is that they aren't easy to drive, aren't easy to start (push button Rovers), and really stick out. Not a target for car theifs. Hide all your valuables under the driver's seat compartment and no one will break in.
On my 109", I also have a fuel shutoff switch. If someone did steal it, it would run fine for about 500'. Then it would start bucking and die. You gotta remember to turn it back on though...
