security for car parked on driveway

Hi I live in Drogheda and my car was robbed from my driveway at beginning of April buying a new car this week I don't have enough room to fit gates as the entrance is quite wide and can only fit 2 cars in driveway side by side any ideas on how to make it hard as possible for it to happen again

How was it robbed last time?

Did they get the keys? Did they go into your house?
I would say it is easier to make sure they can't rob it the same way as last time be that a house alarm or a strong box to hold your keys.

Easiest way to do it? Prob disconnect the battery.

Could you put in lockable bollards?

They fished the keys ... I know I learnt my lesson !!Was thinking if they walked by or cased the car make them think ah it's not worth the hassle to hard of a job ... Don't think I would b up to disconnect the battery every night

these guys are on the old Slane road just past the Oliver plunketts pitch in Drogheda, they have the bollards off the shelf.

Not much use if key for bollards lock on same easily 'fishable' keyring as car keys.

Keep keys out of sight and reach of callers to door and stick up a couple of IR sensor floodlights as well.
