Default best security device out there?

Im worried that someone might run off with my xj one day or steal some of my gear inside. Whats the best way you guys secure your stuff such as a security system or any other way? Other than putting it in a garage. Especially when I go doorless Im always worried about vandalism or theft. Maybe Im just paranoid but Im just here to pick some brains.

Get a motion sensor mounted outside pointed toward the jeep. Wire it inside to a buzzer in your bedroom. When the buzzer goes off grab your shotgun and head out the front.

Wrong, it will just fail when the time comes to use it because dust got in the rail.

12GA pump gun will do the trick. More capacity than a 1911 too.

I live in a apt in a nice neighborhood. But i find out its not so nice when my buddy got his radio stolen out of his car who lives one building down. Makes me a little worried about my girl ya know. I have a canopy spot beside two other cars and about 100 ft from my front door.

Security system. Set up a trip alarm around your property, cameras, get video fed straight to your phone. Tape some razor blades to your radio or make a fake cassette radio cover.

Hidden Kill Switch, backed up by the 12GA, backed-up by the 1911 with a pitbull sleeping in the back.
