As an aside, when I did live in LA, I had the opportunity to work with one of the gentlemem who developed car alarm systems including LoJack. He explained to me car alarm systems companies don't really sell anything to stop a car thief as each system can be compromised in some way. Simple put they sell piece of mind.

To a point. I didn't install my alarm thinking I was gonna defeat a highly organized and skilled gang of car thieves. I installed it intending to defeat the small-time jackass who likes to take cars on joyrides, or the random stereo thief.

Your first mistake was to "bling" your car. No offense, but why?? Is it for shows, or just to show that you have some money? Give me a shitty looking car that runs great any day.

that's a little stronger than the statement you interpreted Bill
And I disagree anyway. His first mistake was not "blinging" his car - his first mistake was blinging his car *without taking proper security measures.*
Alarm, lojack, wheel locks, and don't park the car out in the open if you don't have to. And if you do have to, have it parked by a valet - - -then they're responsible when your car gets messed with
