Anti-theft options

Last Oct, my 250 Platinum was stolen and used to transport people across our southern border. Once recovered, it took two months to convince the insurance company to total it (found gasoline in the tank-truck was diesel). ANYWAYS, I ordered a new 350 Platinum and was wondering what some of you would recommend to prevent theft this go around. (i.e. kill switch, gps tracking, moving , etc)
I'm going to be pretty anxious about taking this beauty out in public until I have something on it.

Sorry bout that. Curious if the insurance found out how they stole it without the key fob? Supposedly hard to hot wire with the electronic push button start.

jriltex,
It wasn't an electronic push button start. It was a 2015, sorry I forgot to mention that. But no, the insurance didn't indicate how it was started.

Is there a valet mode available on the 2017? That would be handy as they won't get very far very fast in valet mode. I have that on my Titan (through a custom tune) and I have the MPH limited to 10 and the RPM limited to 1000.
