ok since toykilla is the oposite of every post i will say this one you can get very creative with alarms and make it very safe ie. put box somewhere else put sirens somewhere else hook it up to the radio and other things.... 2 yes if someone wants your car bad enough it is gone but how many poeple are gonna steal camaro's or in your case eclipse's with all that trouble they will look over your car and go to the next. 3 if you are that worried invest in a garage with a watch dog, securitie.... but for the most part a good alarm like i mentioned the alpine will be fine unless you have a seriously done up car worth enough for someone to get there money's worth. (so unless you have a exotic or a car with serious money in it don't worry about it and get a good alarm.)

True, your so right in that matter. You spend all this money to keep someone from getting into your car. Fancy crap, this, that. All this technology won't stop an old fashion hammer to the window. Honestly, the best bet to stop someone from stealing a stereo is a custom install. Something that will make the crook take time to remove. Anyone can break a window with a hammer, and remove a sub box in less than a minute. While your beloved alarm is going off. What will it do? Unless the alarm company is willing to pay for anything stolen from your car while it's installed. It just isn't worth it.

2.) The guy who is just going to throw a brick through the window of your car is most likely not a professional and most likely be unable to steal your car.
3.) There is a chip in every I guess 2001 + f-body (not sure if its on the older LS1s or LT1s) car key that is specially needed to turn on YOUR personal car. Probably not too easy to hot wire the thing.
4.) I'm too busy right now to finish the list but it can go on and on.
I don't want to even get into with some of the new state of the art alarms can do and prevent from happening to your car.
Bottom line is nothing is garanteed but you are ignorant to say that alarms don't make a difference.

In my experience, stereo theft is much more common then vehicle theft. Many of my friends have had their cars broken into and had electronics stolen. Only one has had his car stolen and he drove an Accord with nice rims.
Considering GM could barely sell the f-car new, I doubt the black market is really good for them. The only things Camaro I ever seem hear about getting stolen are the t-tops and Corsa tips.

Man, your completely blind if you think an alarm will prevent your car from being stolen. It might stop the average person or an honest man but it won't stop someone that has a basic understanding of how to do it. Not even professionals. The other point, which is made below. Your car has about as much value as my aftermarket part list. No one wants it.

Stop crying about alarms and buy another stereo system. All you do is wine with negativity....I'm sick of it....Keep your doors unlocked for all I care.

Yeah, thats why the one time my car sat on my front driveway through the night, someone tried to steal it. And where I live, there're a lot more Mercedes then there are f-bodies. So I'd rethink that statement.

Your right, cutting wires is soo hard. The average moron couldn't do it...What movie did a green neon eclipse run 10 seconds in the 1/4 mile?? I must have missed that movie. Be realistic, what's so hard for you guys to see my point?? It's not like i'm saying imports are better than domestics. Your just disagreeing because I don't have a Camaro. Read it and god forbid, think about it. Car alarms do ****ing nothing, I know from experience how much they do.

For the professional... Your right. For the amature... They will run from the noise. The absolute best theft deterent is your own ignition kill switch independent from the alarm hidden but within inconspicuous arms reach. For the professional... He will never find it!

Please take your ride to your mechanic and hope he doesn't **** it up because god knows your too stupid to fix something...
