With the auxilary circuit, maybe us it to power up a device that reverses the polarity of the OBD port so anyone who tries to use it instantly fries their machine.
There are different OBD locks. I would recommend one made of metal rather than plastic.

The alarm system would be fine, but if you're saying you can't afford one or you can't get one yet doesn't it make sense to take some countermeasures in the meantime?
