S5 Security
I'm about to move to a part of town that's not reputed to be the safest area. I've gathered some information on the security of previous models and it seems a bit concerning (breaking in windows to access a valet key, emulating radio waves sent by remote to unlock the car, etc).
Would you guys recommend purchasing a steering lock for the B9 for peace of mind/immediate deterrence of thieves? I'll be parking the car in a garage but my paranoia knows no bounds.

I would be more worried about them breaking the window and stealing items rather than the car. The new 2018 does not have the spare valet key and people will always find a way to use tech to unlock/start cars.

@00I00 - Those steering wheel locking bar’s aren’t worth the money. A number of years ago I went to a LEO seminar and the presenter showed just how easy they were to disable.
Save your money or look into an alarm system that notifies your phone if something happens.
