What you're doing sounds like the best way. Pager alarms let you know sooner than later ... just add good insurance and you're done! If they REALLY want it ... blah blah blah

Oh yeah ... maybe a kill switch? Removeable steering wheel.

Or even a trunk monkey :

I would look at the Alpine alarms. Last time I really looked at the market, they were at the top.

Good Luck,

If they want your car they will get alarm or no alarm.
As for lo-jack I would rather not get my car back than get a half wreck car back.

But that is just me.

I worked Auto Theft before I retired and saw some real pieces of crap returned to owners. I'd buy the best insurance policy I could and forget Lojack. With Lojack you'll get it back but you'll be heartbroken! Just my .02!

Hire four security guards to stand by each corner of the car every time you park it.

What if you trained the Trunkmoney to carry a Glock? Best of both worlds?
