I just bought a new Accord EX-V6 and was wondering what I could do to
make the car more secure. After all, the Accord is one of the most
popular cars for thieves/break-ins/parts.

Are wheel locks actually useful? Or do thieves have some "master key"
anyway?

Is the factory alarm good enough, or is an upgraded alarm w/shock
sensor a useful deterrent?

Any advice appreciated...

Thieves? Well, service techs have them, so it's a safe bet the thieves
do, too.

Snap On sells such beasts. They're only about $100. My service guy
showed it to me; he said he could get the wheel locks off in half the
time or less with this tool than by using the official wheel lock key.

No need. Accords now come with engine immobilizers, standard. Most stolen
Accords are late 80s and early 90s models, which didn't come equipped.
