There is available a tamper proof tax disc holder, which cannot stop the removal of the disc but prevents a
thief altering the details on the disc and using it themselves, this also means the disc holder cannot be reused and needs replacing when a new disc is purchased but at a cost of £1 its a good investment if it stops your car being broken into for the road tax.
NUTS!
Theft of your cars Alloy Wheels will cost a small fortune to replace, this can be prevented by investing in locking wheel nuts at a cost of around £25 before you say that's a lot add up the cost of 4 alloy wheels and 4 new tyres.
"It doesn't matter I'm insured" But a claim on your insurance will usully incur an excess and the loss of some of your no claims discount plus the EMBARASSMENT of returning to your car to find the wheels gone, replaced by a pile of bricks.
The Hub of the matter
Plastic wheel hubs are another little earner for the would be thief especially if you have a new style of wheel trim. a tip to prevent the opportunist thief is to use PLASTIC TIES avalable in most car but shops please remember to have some way of removing them if you need to take the wheel off.
