Damn, glad theres a happy ending. Get a Compustar Alarm (1.5 mile range, pager system). It would have notified you in class (vibrate or beep mode). Also get a AutoLock for the brake pedal, and a AutoTaser (ear piercing alarm when theres movement in the vehicle. You could of had it go infront of your radio, so if the dip **** thieves touched it, 50,000 volts would be going through their bodies.
I have the alarm and autolock. AutoTaser is next on my list. 
those pedal locks are massive. the only thing stopping me from getting one is the fact that they're so big... at least the ones i've seen...
i'm not sure what brand, but a friend of mine has one of those pager systems on his alarm that has a large radius, like the compustar. but it doesn't work very well if you're in any kind of building - even just his apartment, when his car is right outside, he said.
that autotaser sounds like a great idea, tho... the would-be thieves would probably **** the rest of your car up, if you did that, tho...
and yeah, press charges to no end. is there anyone else that is pressing charges too? would you have to go to court for it, or is there a way you could remain anonymous? that'd be nice, but i'm not sure if its possible...
