Best Alarm Wass Up Everyone,
Lately, about four people have stopped at my house asking if I'm willing to sell my SS just this week two people came by. I live in San Francisco Bay Area currently out here anything with an LS engine is disappearing from left to right MAN it's crazy. Short story long last week a Chop Shop was discover in Oakland, Ca inside police found a bunch of Camaro's that were already part out. I'm somewhat paranoid right now since my house does not have a garage, I'm willing to invest the right money to have my car well protected from all these thief's who survive of that fast money. My SS currently has a functional stock alarm with sensitivity turned almost to maximum, but still I'll like to install another alarm that will maybe work better than stock alarm if it exist.
What is best alarms out there?
or what measure should I take to protect my car such as kill switch and stuff of that sort?

Without a doubt, your best option is an attack cheetah. Put one in the car and no one will mess with it. They are really mean beasts:
If that's not practical for you, I'd recommend going with LoJack. The Bay Area PD's should be well integrated with it and it will actually help you get your car back when someone steals it.
The stock alarm and VATS are just fine. Putting in another alarm that does the same thing won't help you incrementally - it will just increase your likelihood of maintenance and electrical problems down the road. If someone can defeat the stock alarm, they will just defeat the aftermarket in the same way. Going to a different type of mechanism will give you an entirely additional layer of security.

i live in the bay area also and theres a local guy who had a nice pager alarm on his car and it still got stolen. probably the best thing to do is put a gps tracker on it or you can install a fuel cutoff switch which cuts the power to the fuel pump. My ws6 was stolen in front of my house a few years ago, but they didnt get far because they were rookies and couldnt start the car and they dumped it near my house. I now have a pager alarm, gps tracker and garaged.
MOVE, that is the best advice, find somewhere with a lower car theft rate, even the best alarms won't stop someone from stripping it down and leaving the shell. a thief specializing in a certain car (as evident from your story) clearly has the skills to get around most things.
