Does no one worry about losing their cars?

I search here and find very little information on car alarms .... alot of BS about remote starting ... but nothing that would lead someone to believe that putting a car alarm in a 300 is important ...

So i ask ... is it not worth it? seems to me dropping $30k + for a car it would be more important then buying rims / tires ....

So are any of you running an alarm you would recommend? I could careless about remote start and a boatload more interested in security ...

Anyone have thoughts or suggestions for an actual alarm? I do not want to pay for any GPS alarm ... just want a good normal alarm for the car.

I guess it depends on where you live. I live in upstate NY where I would be very surprised if someone actually stole my car. Don't get me wrong, I lock that baby every time I get out and my car is stored away in my locked garage every night. I don't really see a need for any additional alarm system.

same here. I live on an army base in Canada and the town out side the base only has maybe 6000 people in it. sometimes i even leave the keys in it with the engine running without a second thought. I wouldnt even consider dooing that in the city but I only go to the city maybe about 6 times a year so spending all the money on an alarm isnt worth it. I might consider an alarm if I knew it would drop my insurance but the insurance co, says the factory alarm is sufficent.

alarm.....lmaooo....it will only keep a honest man honest!
if they want it...thay gonna take it....
just for instance...there is this member on this site
that lives in miami...had a alarm.. car was parked right out side his garage
came out to it siting on cinder blocks and rims gone...go figure?

herb's right, the alarm is for your peace of mind only. A real thief will do whatever he wants.

Your only hope is a Lojack, but sometimes they even disable those!

lol, that's a great vid!!

i agree with the others.. alarms are only going to keep the honest man honest and give you peace of mind. LoJack is also a great option.

Since joyriding is out, its virtually impossible to hot wire one of these, so your left with pros, who need to use a flatbed or two truck, so dont bother. No alarm will stop a flatbed.
