I think using a metal "steering wheel lock" like "the club" would be a good way for preventing most robbers from driving your car even if they can start it by stealing the car remote's signal.
I have such a phone, not really possible unless they get my actual phone.

I heard there are smartphones which uses a custom OS and apps which are harder to hack. I think most car robbers won't really bother trying to hack a more secure smartphone to start a car which can be controlled by a phone when there are other cars which can be started by jamming a screwdriver into the steering wheel key hole or using a wireless device to steal a car's key signal.

for recent cars it would have to be a wireless hacking, as they come with button starts, no car key holes.

I think some cars with wireless keys still come with a backup key hole for opening the driver side door and starting the engine with a key hole on the dashboard when the battery in the key is dead or the key wireless transmitter is broken.

Only key hole is for the glove box, otherwise there is a button number you can enter to get into the car.

It would be nice if there were paid antivirus which have a loyalty program which lower the price of subscriptions for long time subscribers.

Would be nice, Malwarebytes did have lifetime licenses, but they took them away :(
