If they knew you had it in advance, they could plan away around it before even breaking into your car. No car alarm is theft proof, but your chances of having your car stolen with an alarm are very very slim to none.
Now these new cars like my mom's cr-v that has that key code thing, i don't think theres anyway to crack that, yet.
Of course, if a thief has a day or so to work on and steal ur car, consider it gone. We all know that this will only happen if ur car is out in the middle of nowhere. A thief's biggest enemy is time, that is the key to preventing theft of your car, by having a top of the line alarm(AvantGuard4) and another layer of security(AutoLock). Getting by these things won't be a walk in the park for any thief, they take time and unless the thief has a major boner for ur car, he's just gonna take what's accessible instead of fiddling w/the wiring and crap trying to figure out how he can bypass all the features on ur alarm to get ur car.
Oh yeah, and the key code thing, sorry to burst ur bubble, but a simple 18 guage jumper wire placed in the right spot would bypass that
