One trick is to install the alarm 'horn' inside the
cockpit, making it so loud and uncomfortable that the
thief flees. (esp effective in hardtops and GT6).
Don't know about your locale, but due to so many false
alarms, no one pays *any* attention at all to an auto
alarm, (other than to mumble f**king a**hole).
FWIW, I have heard hundreds of alarms, *never* when a
theft was in progress.
Hidden kill switch is most effective, they just will
not bother when pickings are so easy.
