Someone wants my car...Help
Well the other night I was looking out my window and couple of punks were looking in my car. I watched for about 5 mins and then one gets brave and tugs at the door handle. So I call the cops and confront the guys and one gets froggy and tries to jump and about the time we start fighting the cops pull up. Anyway I need an alarm. I have been pulling the fuel pump fuse the past few nights incase they try to steal it. So I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on a brand I should go with.

the only part to an alarm is the led, most people want to put in a spot everyone will see it and i like to put them off somewhere so you see it when your programing. i think alarms are good, i'd rather have not any of the lil punks messing around my car and have a real theft maybe pass to the car next to me. i know a real theft will be able to get my car but atleast the odds of someone messing with my car is a bit less.
i like the compustars for manuals and the viper for autos. i hate code alarms with an passions. i'm thinking about trying the new two way scosche alarm.

But alarms arent worthless at all. I think it is completely worth the money. There is more to an alarm than making the whole car unstealable.

Also If I walk by and see your led light I know there is a kill switch and there fore by pass it(depending on skill of car theif),If they want it they will do it. Now if they jump in hot wire and it don't start ther more likely to move on to something else.
are you saying you walk by cars, scoping them out to steal them on a regular basis?
