Default Best aftermarket theft deterrents?

Hi,
I had my '98 Civic EX stolen thursday night. The cops told me, based on
the number of Honda's stolen in my neighborhood in the past month, that
I should expect to never see it again. OK, so I'm starting over,
probably buying a similar late 90's Civic or Accord. I realize that if
they really want it, they'll get it no matter what I do, but what are
my best bets in terms of physical deterrents? I'm going to use some
sort of a Club-like device to lock the steering wheel and brake pedal,
but I am looking for another layer beyond that. I've heard about
"engine immobilizers" but I'm not having much luck finding any
aftermarket products of that type. I know I could do a kill switch but
I've been told that these are easy bypassed and don't do much (if
anything) to prevent hotwiring. Any advice is greatly appreciated. If
it makes any difference, I am located in the S.F. Bay Area (in case you
have specific vendor recommendations).

Thanks.
