Guess it's a good thing my alarm is a freq/code hopping one then
I also forgot to mention something about alarms earlier.
1) if you have an installer do it, make sure it's not an installer who knows where you live or who is likely to come upon your car. Some installers install alarms that they know how to defeat, and then they go swipe cars they've been paid to protect.
2) The alarm is not enough. A fuel kill switch is easy to wire in, can be hidden just about anywhere, and is nice backup security.
3) yes, as has been mentioned, if they REALLY want your car, they're gonna get your car. But an alarm/fuel kill switch will keep the small timers away - they'll move on to easier targets.
