    We are all thankful for our Prius during this period of rising gas prices. I am trying to maximize the security for my 2015 Prius three. Can anyone give me information on ways to keep my Prius safe from theft. I am not interested in modifying the car or adding additional equipment. Thanks for any assistance.

    Without the keyfob, no one can steal the car. Maybe a helicopter with straps that fastens the car.

    ... or tow it, or winch it on to a flatbed truck.

    But really, who wants to steal a whole Prius? Virtually nobody. Nearly all the Prius thieves want just the catalytic converter, not the rest. A private (not multi-family) garage works best.
