24 Ford Escape phev What should I do to make it as theft resistant as possible? Are there any common theft vulnerabilities I should be aware of? Should I invest in a cover for the OBD2 port?

Yes, here is a list of additional antitheft steps you can take.

1. Invest in an OBD2 port lock/cover.
2. Use a Steering Wheel Lock
3. Enable Ford's Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) and FordPass App
4. Install a GPS Tracker
5. Park in well-lit, camera-covered areas
6. Don’t Leave the Charging Cable Plugged in Unattended Overnight in Public

Let us know if you need anything else.
