Security and theft deterrents
I think about the best you can do is keep valuables out of your rig and make it harder to get in to tha the next guys.
When I lived in the city I never left anything in my cars because I knew if anyone wanted it bad enough they would get it.
BTW when was the last time you heard a car alarm go off and someone didn't ignore it? I have zero faith in them. As I modify my rig more and more it becomes more of a target for joy riders. So I'm thinking about a hidden kill switch.
Get one while it's young and show it lots of love and attention? LOL

I know you where kidding. Because my dogs hear every thing that goes on around my house, And let me know. (In fact it drives me nuts at times, people walking by, critters in the yard.) They would be outside in a flash. And they aren't real friendly, to people they don't know. But worse case scenario, Should it happen to me. I would be handing in the biggest bumped up insurance claim, I could. I also have several motion lights around my house. And my jeep is parked under one of them.

So IV decided I'm going to get the viper alarm with shock sensor and an additional proximity sensor so if anyone comes close to the driver door it will warn them
Thre was a modded out civic that was always parked on the street in my friends neighborhood. All through highschool I would drive past it at least for times a week. And all through highschool I tried as hard as I could to set off the proximity alarm by driving too close. It was a fun game and I think the owner just got complacent cause he never came out to see what the problem was. Never saw the car get broken into, but my friend hit it with his pathfinder while trying to set off the alarm.
