Welcome to the forum.
Anything like a bar locked onto the steering wheel (stoplock ? ) is going to help

You definitely need to keep your key fob/s in a position where it cannot be detected by a thief close to your house. They can gain access to your car remotely by using a special unit which can remotely send your unlocking/starting info to your car. These pouches are available from Amazon or Ebay at a very small price. They are pretty much the same as a Faraday cage. It is just a small pouch to put your fob into so radio waves cannot enter it. Please don't take this the wrong way but because of your location I would strongly recommend a steering lock. However, I have no experience with these so cannot advise.

Welcome to this forum.
I'd have to say I've not used any additional security for years. But London is different to rural Gloucestershire.
You could fit a tracker of course but I don't recall anyone on here putting one in - or even upping the security otherwise.
