Car Security Born From Australia's Theft Crisis

30 seconds is all they need to steal your car. 

Every day, another news report. Brisbane. Melbourne. Western Sydney. Your neighbourhood next.

Thieves don't need skill anymore—just a $200 signal amplifier from the internet or they'll just smash a window and hot-wire it the old-fashioned way. The government hasn't banned the hacking devices yet and automakers won't admit their "security" is a joke. Insurance might partially pay out—eventually—but your car is already in pieces at a chop shop.

So who's protecting you? You are.

The Research Behind lockOZ (lock Ozzy)

I spent months investigating what actually stops car thieves—not marketing claims, but proven solutions backed by evidence.

The answer? Effective car protection comes down to four principles:

1. Visible Deterrents – Thieves target easy opportunities. Make yours look difficult.

2. Signal Protection – Block relay attacks that bypass keyless entry systems.

3. Physical Barriers – A locked steering wheel can't be turned, no matter the technology.

4. Accessible Pricing – Real security shouldn't cost $1,000+ when effective solutions exist under $130.

Our Promise

Every product at lockOZ meets one standard: Would I trust it to protect my own vehicle?

If the answer is no, it doesn't make the cut. That's why we've soft-launched with a curated and small, but mighty selection—we'd rather offer a few proven solutions than dozens of untested ones. Behind the scenes, we're constantly testing new products, and as they prove themselves, we'll add them to the range.
