re:

Like Hemeee said... you can put whatever alarm or antitheft deterrent on your car.. but if someone wants your $h!t... they'll take it.

The only thing you can do is invest money into making it more unpleasant and more difficult to steal. For example... if you get an alarm... it's pretty well usless without a backup siren and some sort of ignition/starter kill. From my experience as a car audio installer, a person who will attempt to steal your car will either jimmy the window/door, set the siren off, pop the hood and cut your siren. Now they have all the free time in the world. If they have more than one person this can be accomplished VERY quickly without anyone really noticing. One thing I often upsell is a backup siren (120 - 160db) that can only be disarmed with a key (which you would have). Even if the theif was to cut the backup siren and chuck it as far they could... it would still be screaming in mid air as they threw it (because of the built in battery that charges it). Now another thing you can do is hook up a hood release lock which also operates with a key. So if someone was to break into your vehicle and try to pop the hood they could not gain access to the engine bay without the key (which you would also have). This deters them from cutting the siren, cutting power to the vehicle, etc.

One other thing I can suggest is optional sensors. Most people will go for a tilt/motion sensor or a proximity sensor.

Ultimately tracking is one of the best features however can get pricey and sometimes I've seen cars stripped before they locate it (theives work quick and even quicker in teams).

Hope this helps,

Nick
