Beaters are the best defense against theft. Buy a reliable vehicle that you don't give a damn about and have a lot less stress. My car stays in the garage and if it gets jacked there my homeowners insurance covers it. When it does get driven I am always close.
I have a 97 Buick LaSabre that I daily drive. No body gives that Buick a second glance including the cops.

our cars are actually pretty good theft deterents. You can set the sensitivity of the alarm as well as VATS being a pain in the *** even if you aren't trying to steal it. Now its not too difficult to bypass vats but only someone very fluent with F-Body's would know this...and if that's the case not much can be done. Manual fuel pump switches, battery kills, and stuff like that would also help as well.

I don't think my post was off topic at all. The fact of the matter is if you have alot of time and effort in the car and it does get stolen then even if insurance comes across your still out the time and work to get it where it was. THE best defense against that is to be close to it or for the car not to be somewhere it can be stolen.
My 250 lb ax murderer lookin *** is a WAY better deterrent than lojack.
