Another thing to consider is Lo-Jack. Either instead of or to compliment an alarm system. In large cities it is very successful at recovering cars quickly. It is expensive. Most new car dealers offer it for used cars but you cannot install it yourself. Not only must you worry about the car getting stolen (rare but possible) you have to consider losing whatever is inside the car. Much more likely than loss of the car. Even if the car gets recovered usually anything inside the car is going to be missing. The "best" protection is to talk with your insurance agent and understand EXACTLY what your insurance covers. Some insurance companies offer discounts if you have an alarm or Lo-Jack. There are also companies that will engrave codes into body panels and glass but that may only help after it is stolen and maybe found.
