I don't know if this has been brought up but its a worry for me with alot of scrotes knocking about. but is their any sort of mod to strengthen the screwdriver tap trick? i know the pugs, saxo, puntos etc. are easy to get into buy tapping a screwdriver at the side of the lock. So it would be nice to strengthen it out on the inside. either that or an alarm that tells them to do one when they get to close

Steel plate and a box around the back of the barrel so you can't get a driver down Side of lock and if you do the box behind barrel stops you getting to the bits to unlock it.
My van has had this done to it. (not by me)

Has been welded by the looks of it. I didn't do it to it so don't know were it came from.

Tennis ball trick wouldn't work on our cars and I don't think on any others lol. If I de-lock it then that would. Mean a full door respray?

That only works on old VW or Mercedes with a VACUUM type central locking system.

You dont need to break a window to get in to a locked 206
Even delocking it is a waste of time
