need the best car alarm, money not issue I know the best car alarm would be to hire a team of armed ex Navy SEALs and I would on a heartbeat (have them shoot anyone who so remotely looked dirty at my car) hell I'd stand guard myself w/ a shotgun but realistically what is the best car alarm money can buy. I want one w/ proximity sensors that tell ppl to get the **** away from my car if they're w/in 10 feet and pages me instantly. I want all the bells and whistles (some **** sucking low lives bashed my window as i posted in the racers lounge). money is not an issue, hopefully under a grand. this looks pretty cool....http://www.car-alarms-accessories.co...ctor_2000.htm#

I have a viper 790XV, has remote start, hatch unlock, unlock doors, proximity sensor, and windoe roll-up. Coolest feature is it's a 2-way FM remote, so if anyone yamper with your car you will know instantly. it will also notify you if your out of range
I have had mine for over a year, never had a false alarm, the one time it went off someone WAS tampering with the car
It's not cheap, but it does give you piece of mind

well you contridicted your self when you said best alarm and under 1000$. i also have the viper and have had it for about a year and a half.
only bad thing is the remots cost 100$ and i have had 3 of them. also it is a little big in your pocket if you are not use to it.
but you can easily spend over a grand espacialy with a lot of options and well the install price also. you can get moduals to were you can call and turn your car on and off if you are out of range and all kinds of stuff.
o and CURRENT alittle tip for you that i always do is i take the plastic covering that is on each button off. that way i dont sit down with my keys in my pocket and accidently roll down my windows. it makes the buttons flush with the face of the remote.

maybe you need security cameras and you can keep a little TV monitor with you 
j/k I would avoid getting something too sensitive. You dont want it going off because someone is just walking by the car, or getting into their car that is parked next to yours.
May I ask what does your car look like? Do you have aftermarket wheels, an expensive stereo, etc. Basicly a magnet for theives??
It really sucks that we can't ever have anything nice and people respect it. I had my car looking good for a while but I was just too scared to park it out anywhere for long periods of time, so I finally went back to looking stock so I wouldn't worry as much. There are always jealous people out there and some people are just bound and determined to do whatever it takes, so any security system wont keep them from messing up your ride.
