Default Theft

Alright guys, this is kinda scary. I have been told by several different people today to not put all of my money into my car because it will get stolen. I am wondering what I should be thinking right now? I mean I obviously dont want it stolen... I dont have full coverage because I can not afford it... I LOVE MY CAR!!!! I really want it to look nice and be sweet, but I dont want to lose it to some jacka**... So should I buy an alarm for it in hopes that keeps all the thiefs away from her? Its kinda like my gf I really love her and dont want to lose her so I lock her up... I AM JUST KIDDING!! But really what should I do about my car???

If you have the money...I guess it wouldn't hurt.

if anything they will steal the head unit and speakers. A viper alarm is like $400 is your audio worth a lot more then 400$ if so go for it

don't waste your money on it. if they steal the car, they steal the car. when was the last time you heard an alarm and checked it out instead of complaining aboot the noise? never.

True...and a REAL thief isn't going to be stopped by a sound maker...but like redass said, who pays attention to those things anyways since they go off for stupid reasons...

well I found a alarm that will fit my car and fit right in with my keyless entry... So I think I will get it, the main thing is it kills the starter and will HOPEFULLY scare off the person trying to do anything to my car. It is not that expensive... I dont have a superb stereo just a pioneer head unit thats not what I am most worried bout though they can take that as long as they leave the car haha. I just think with it looking nice with rims and tint and exhaust and some graphics people will look at it more which is a good and yet a bad thing at the same time.

Get the Club too. Visual deterent will chase off 99% of thieves that want your car. But remember, if someone wants it bad enough, they're gonna get it.
