Hi,
True, if a professional mob wants to take your car, they will bypass the alarm and there's little you can do about it.
However, the vast majority are pinheads who want to just steal your radio and/or take the car for a joyride and most alarms will stop these mongrels. Use an insurance approved alarm and insure the car so at least you can get the money back if it gets stolen. These alarms stop both the fuel and electricity to your engine and auto-arm themselves after about a minute in case you forget. Make sure it has a big, bright flashing LED and put some stickers on the windows to inform the would-be theif that this car is alarmed. Hopefully, they're smart enough to leave it alone and find some other similar car where the owner hasn't installed an alarm system.
At your home, you can install a cheap camera and hook it to a VCR. Load a long play tape and run the VCR in long play mode and you'll get a good 8-10 hours of tape and see what's happening to your car.
Also, if you park it in your drive, get one of those motion detectors and hook it to a few spot lights under the eaves of your house. Anyone comes near your car they'll be lit up as though it's daylight.
An idea I've been kicking around is to install one of those voice chips that let you record up to 2mins of speech. You get some chick to scream out "Help! Rape!" or "Help, Fire!" into the recorder and you hook this to an amp and speaker inside the engine bay. Also, it helps if you put a 120db siren inside the car. 100db is the threshold of pain, so 120db would almost bust an ear drum and turn your brain to mush. If the car is broken into, instead of an alarm, you'll hear some chick screaming out the above - and that'll surely wake a few people and prolly scare the bejesus outta the would-be theif.
Then, there's always the electric fence circuit that you hook up and run the wires behind your radios. Anyone sticking their hands around it will get about 50,000 volts. Hehehe.. make sure you disconnect it before you work on your radio or you'll cop a belt also. However, this sort of thing is illegal - bit IMHO I'd have no issues in electricuting some scum-sucking pig who was intent on stealing my radio or breaking into my car.
