DJM48:
What's new in the world of car security?
Are after-market GPS trackers useful or are they too easily jammed by a well equipped thief?
Is the current Porsche immobiliser (991.1 - sort of current) any good?
Incoming 991R etc and I hope to (a) drive it and (b) keep it for many years
Am also looking at a retractable lockable bollard for the garage.

If someone wants to steal your car...good luck.
Just be careful where you park your car and stay aware of your surroundings, watch for same people/cars following you, taking photos and so on. In the end, there isn't much you can do though.
A GPS tracker is useful but make sure there is no sticker or similar on your car. If a professional thief sees the sticker, he will certainly try to make sure that the GPS tracker doesn't work properly. There are ways...
Get proper insurance protection and always keep your doors locked, even during daytime because of possible car-jacking.
I do not know how the situation in Australia is but in Europe, it really depends on where you live, where you park the car and if a thief "needs" a car like yours because he has a job for one.
