How would you make your truck unstealable?

My town has too many thieves taking vehicles for dangerous joy rides. So I want to make my truck unstealable.

The local public insurer uses these devices: MasterGard M6000 immobilizer;
Autowatch 573PPi immobilizer, but charges $280 for installation.

Read elsewhere of someone connecting their cigarette lighter to their solenoid so it wouldn't start with the lighter either in or out of the socket.

I like the cigarette lighter idea, but a thief might try to light up or put the thing back in the socket.

Any other suggestions?
