Sorry for your loss, there are some third party devices out there but I don't know how effective they are or if they make 'em for a mk7.

If you can spread old engine oil or axle grease mixed with horse manure (or dog ****) on the tarmac under the car then you have a chance the police/anybody can follow them back to the lair.

i’m going to fit an alarm including a tilt sensor, this will go off if they try to jack the car up. I might weld some rebar along the exhaust to prevent them cutting it and get a plate to cover the cat. Hopefully I won’t have to go through this nightmare again
