Default ODB-II port lock

Hi,

I thought I saw some chat about this but can't find it; is anyone using a lock on their ODB-II port so slow down thieves to discourage them?, are there any brands or models that are good?

Help preventing theft. It's commonly used to reprogram a new key which allows a thief to drive away with the car.
