Yes, the UK has Thatcham rated ECU protection.

Serious 'hardware'!

You would need to grind some rivets to get it out.

I have a Racing Beat flashed ECU that removes the key chip security, (so if I was a U.S. criminal,) I could undo the three 10mm bolts and swap my ECU for yours, break the steering lock and drive away. The Thatcham steel makes it a much longer, and noisier process.
