IMO The best way is to have a system that sounds and alerts you, something that kills the vehicle, and something that tracks the car. This covers all your bases that way if they do tow it then you have lojack to track them. Nothing is 100 percent but the combo of those 3 will definately increase the chance of preventing theft or having it returned. Obviously you want to prevent it but if the load it up then they are being tracked...thats really the best choice in that situation

Wish I could find one thread that says they caught the thieves mid way through their theft, then you followed them back to the hideout and shot them all....

I think this is my new fantasy

Alarms really dont do anything anymore, i mean, who honestly even looks when you hear a car alarm go off?

I take it that I'm pretty lucky.

My car stays in the garage unless I'm driving it.

And if I drive it to work, it'ss in a controlled entrance/exit, guarded parking lot by Barney Fife's.

However, there is NO defense for tow trucks!

I kinda doubt there are thieves roaming the threads...but then again i'm thinking of a small thief not a gone in 60 seconds kind of guy
