Blatant sales pitch is blatant!

Besides the car already has a damn immobilizer chip. Does everybody (except Billwot) think that little blinking light on the dash is a ruse?
Anybody that can get around the immobilizer is going to have the car no matter what else you do to it.

Cement blocks and take the wheels home

Sell the car.

Park in wet cement slab.

Or just keep the key safe.

Make sure it is at least half up the wheel hubs.

No it doesn't need that much. If only Toyota/Subaru had listened to everyone and given the car another 40-60hp, it would have been perfect and been able to break free of concrete like a real sports car.

Oh the Prius tires are not grippy enough for the concrete to hold anyway. That is why you have to go half way up the hub or it can just be driven out.

Okay, $180, but that's as low as I can go.

Unplug the gas pedal. Or remove the gas pedal all together. It'll take a minute, the hardest part is contorting yourself to get under the dash lol

I don't know much about the immobilizers but I thought that locks out the ECU or something like that. But the current immobilizer seems it should be sufficient as @Tcoat says. The only way to get around it is if you have a master key from Toyota or something.

Or one of these (at that point it does not matter what you have done):

Exactly. In the end if they want it, and if they're smart enough. They will get it. The only thing that you could do in order to make their job that much more difficult, is to install something like a 2 way Viper alarm with auxiliary features. On my last car I had digital tilt sensor, which would essentially detect the change in the angle of the car (such as if it were to be towed), and set the alarm off. There is also an auxiliary battery option, in case they decide to cut the primary power source of your alarm (the car battery).

So if you're super paranoid, and want to do the best you can in terms of theft deterrents, 2 way Viper alarm with the bells and whistles (it does get quite expensive), and a hidden fuel cut off switch

Pull the starter fuse. It's what I did when someone broke into my old house and stole my car keys.
