Wes I say the loud *** horn everyone will hear that and come lookin, even if you disable there is a chance that they are complete scumbag ******** and will tear your **** up, if there is an alarm that loud to wake almost everyone in the complex then I say go for it, besides that you need surveillance too cause it will be damn funny to see how high their scared *** jumps after that first horn blow.

Car cover.
It won't stop the car from getting stolen, but it will make it a PITA. Either tuck the sides of cover into the door jams or use lock across bottom (or both).
And like everyone else says, move.

if they really want it, theyll take it regardless of what you do to it.
id suggest looking for a new place to live if youre that concerned about your car, or like someone suggested earlier, a car storage.

Isnt that the truth. My old MCSS was blocked in between two cars where you couldnt walk between them and they got it.

Ok guys.... I pulled my fuel pump fuse and turned the wheels... however, I noticed there were two fuse boxes, with two different fuel pump fuses... I pulled the one closest to the front of the car. Was that the right one? It's a rather large gray fuse..

Guy that I met has a car dealer. He uses Enfotrace on his car. He said its cheap. Incase anything happends he can track the car down showed me. Where its parked pretty cool. All you do is log into a website and it will direct you.

Yea, it's probably the relay. It's much larger than any fuse I've ever seen and is "cubical" in shape...

Man I wish I could help you out here. As stated before, I too have an extra spot in my garage. If my registration hadn't expired last week I'd just let you park it here and take my truck. Unfortunatly Sarah is driving the truck until I get the car registered in Texas. Good luck though man. Seriously. I know if you had a choice you'd be out of that place in a heartbeat. I hate leases too, lol.

Thats the Relay.. Better to pull that than the fuse. You can close a fuse circuit with just about anything... Paper clips, foil, piece of wire, etc. The relays are much harder to close up unless you actually have another relay.
Good luck with it... I think I might wire my new alarm in both my car and truck with a train horn instead of the siren. Dont want it for the horn, but I would use it as an alarm siren for sure!

Invest in a GPS. A lot of insurance companies will give a discount for it and if it DOES get stolen you can get rid of the ******* who did it and make them pay for anything that's happened to it (Or something you did and don't want to pay for >
)

Is it open access parking or is it gated?
**** Geico and call Progressive...
GET A GPS or better yet an alarm that pages you. No use finding the car an hour later just to find it is stripped...
Anywhere to put a camera? They're around $100 now...
Pager is best though so you know immediately. You have a gun right?
DEFINITELY at least add a car cover THAT YOU TIE ON. Time is their enemy so anything you can do so that it takes them more time the better chance you have of keeping your ****.
