Sorry to hear....do you have any pics to post so SAU people kmow what they are looking for?
"If someone wants to take your car, they are going to take it whether you have an alarm or not. The only way to combat this is via gps system. I lost faith in alaram systems long time ago."
While the above it true, I wouldn't discount alarms based on that - the more deterrents you fit to the car the less likely it will be nicked. I'm not saying it won't happen, but the more steps you take (alarms, hidden cut off switches etc etc) the likely-hood of theft goes down.
