VR s2 Acclaim/VK IS GONE :(
park at car in the garage! simple. If you don't have one just put it inside your yard and buy a cover for your car.

How can you secure a car when you can;t park it in the backyard and the only place is on the nature-strip like in my house? I swear it's like a tractor factory here and no place for my broom broom

List them on your insurance, and pray. That is my method. (one locknut set also... just to slow them down)

VN V6, nothing special
get rims that the nut goes into the rim, and put a locknut on each rim and that way they shouldnt be able to break it off because its in the rim, if that makes sense:D:D:D and then if you catch them BREAK THERE FACE!:) that should do the trick :D:D

sleep standing next to your car in a state of cat like readiness
or try locate a sticker of your local biker gangs name, eg coffin cheaters, and slap it on your car, no one steals from bikers... except maybe other bikers.

just get insurance

Alarm with tilt sensors is the best way I think. Then keep an alluminium bat next to the front door :)

No insurance payout is as satisfying as the sound of alluminium on bone.

5 sets of different lock nuts maybe

Any more than 1 set of lock nuts is not advised because they are not designed to be done up as tightly as normal wheel nuts. You might find the wheels falling off that theory very quickly.
