I actually had a spare wheels and tire (track tires) steering wheel, SRS reel and airbag. So the car was back on the road that morning and under lock and key from that point forward. The Prodrive GC07 they took is what really pissed me off.

Seat Locks
As a suggestion (assuming that these are forever NLA), the 07 S2000 I recently acquired has the bolt on the drivers seat (outboard/front) apparently either a Phillips/Allen/Torx which has had the "indentation" where you'd place the tool to remove it filled with epoxy. Certainly would defeat a thief, but also make it very difficult if I wanted to remove that seat.
Although I'm not familiar with what "seat locks" are commercially available, what ought to be a reasonable option would be a Torx Pan Head machine screw in a M8x1.25 thread size. Unlikely that a thief would be carrying around a Torx driver to remove such a bolt. I found and bought some of those if anyone's interested.

I wouldn't advocate using these with any more than one on each seat, and that would be in the front/door-side position. That ought to at least provide a measure of discouragement for any potential theft in the 1st location he'd likely start on, while minimizing the loss of mechanical integrity provided by the other three OEM bolts. That's something each owner would need to assess for himself.
