Yeah, Two actually. One being it's british is a big deterrent to
the average thief. Second take the Distributor rotor with you
when you park it anywhere. I mean, how many car thieves do you know
that carry a rotor for your triumph with them? All the above
expensive stuff won't defeat the "professional". Neither will taking
the rotor. Who you want to deter is the schmuck that wants to take
your LBC for a toot and possibly wreck it. Taking the Rotor with
you will accomplish the disabling of your car and costs nothing (but
embarasment if you forget to put it back on when you want to leave)
