theft deterent?

I've been noticing a few people on craigslist posting about stolen equipment. It got me thinking, because I was parking my machine on busier street. Now, I've moved it to the back of the site, out of visibility.

I have a 12k lb Komatsu excavator, and it seems that all Komatsu keys are the same, so, clearly that is not very secure.

I wanted to throw it out to see what others are doing. I was thinking to lock the hydraulic engagement lever to the up position, but someone could cut (or freeze/brake) through the chain. Another thought was to throw a cheap phone inside, which has GPS tracking.

Any other ideas?
