If you are within reach of WiFi, blanket the area with Amazon Blink cameras. They’re inexpensive and work quite well. 1 base station can support up to 10 cameras. They’re lithium battery powered and will work for a year plus under normal to moderately heavy use.

Leave nothing of value in the car, especially in sight.
tint the widows to make it difficult to see into.
I would have a kill switch installed and instead of an alarm, I’d see if I could have it trigger high beams and reverse light in override so that if they get in, get it started and manage to get going, they are going to draw a lot of attention.

Multiple gps trackers. Do not rely on Ford Sync. It only takes 10-15 seconds to do a sync master reset, removing the vehicle tracking capability.

I'm fortunate to live in a private community with security but I still have 360 deg Ring camera coverage and have one dedicated camera covering the parking place in front of the house where I currently park my Ranger. The Mustang, when it arrives, will have covered off street parking place with my wifes car.
I'm still putting an Airtag in it in case it gets snatched.

Directly on the driveway in my case. Sorry, trying to not be too specific as I've been a little too personal here in the past.

By the way, thank you to everyone who's shared advice here thus far!
A motion activated (flood)light does wonders for peace of mind. A gate or fence helps provide reassurance of malicious intent if caught violating the sanctity of the property line. Posted - Notice, past this point smith and wesson activated free shot, provides the humerous reminder. In the end if it’s on your driveway it should be fairly safe from the random walk/drive by damage. If folks are gonna actively seek to damage short of locking away in your own safe/garage it’s all levels of anxiety. If you stress over it sitting in the driveway just imagine being parked in the short term airport lot, not that I would but things happen.
