sorry to hear. i hate people who only fix up their cars by stealing from other enthusiasts. I remember the articles back in the day where people would have their emblems stolen at Hot Import Nights, and other enthusiast events.

You need:
1. 2-way pager alarm, with a back-up battery. In my accord, the siren is mounted to the wheelwell, and the siren wires are routed underneath. Thus, you can't directly cut them from the engine bay, and the alarm keeps going if you cut the battery wire.
2. Hood locks.

My car was broken into twice in two months...and I was living in a gated apartment complex. The first time they broke in, they took quite a bit of stuff. My car had to be towed on a flatbed to a shop so the insurance could have it fixed. I had a crappy alarm at the time. The alarm wasn't useable anymore (it was all cut up or something), so the insurance paid for a 2-way pager alarm. One time my car was parked about a block away (had no parking), my car paged me. Right before I exited the complex, I hit the remote-start on my remote. As I exited the complex, I saw this guy running in the street so fast (against traffic, with a scared look on his face)...I then ran over to my car, and found my car broken into. Let's just say I just needed to replace the window that 2nd time...I just hopped into my car and drove it to someone else's place
