What is the alarm going to do? if they get pissed, they will come back and vandalize your car, you should consider renting an indoor garage.

Well the other part is that I have a side area here that I'm paving this week and putting an iron gate. They can go to hell. They're not getting near my car. It's becoming common in my town and nearby county. These people pop off these locks like nothing was there. My jaw hit the ground when I saw the type of clean job they did. I don't understand what's so special about these rims like people stop me all the time to ask me if i'm selling them. These are similar to the g37 rims like damn.

Gated house with a enclosed garage is always an option (very expensive option).

Sorry to hear about the damage.

Yes, the only difference between the AvantGuard 5.1 and the IntelliGuard 770 is the tilt sensor and remote start, both can be purchased separately. I bought mine from an authorized Clifford dealer, so they installed it for me (it took about 5 hours) and I have lifetime warranty on the installation, I can go back and change settings as needed. Installation is a mess, so you do need an authorized dealer to do it. I paid $370 installed.

The lady was telling me that only certified people can install it because its not like other systems. They wanted 400 bucks for the install; whereas, another installer told me 150. Any thoughts on this?

You won't go to prison if it's self defense bro.

but I suggest different wheel locks in addition to the alarm. It would be harder for them to steal the rim, and most will probably give up.

Come out with the gun and pop a few shots at the ground. If they pull out to shoot then Its time for some kill shots. On your property they will either run or try to attack. most will run

LOL stupid advice

Anytime you shoot someone you are in big shiet - self defense for stealing rims? LOL I can tell you are no lawyer!

Please stop giving bad advice or otherwise go try this idea of yours and see what kind of trouble you get into....

agreed, not self defense when the other guy is stealing rims and you go shoot him, but if he pulled out a gun on you then its a different story

Maybe reading this thread will enlighten all the cowboys out there.

I don't know about you, but I don't have a $25k criminal defense fund set up to ensure I don't end up in prison because some worthless piece of trash decided to interrupt my life over a set of wheels, a car, or anything else I might possess. I surely don't have hundreds of thousands or even millions to pay to the lifeless piece of trash's family when I am sued for wrongful death. Attack my family or me directly? Different story. But I'm definitely not going to shoot someone over property I have insured against theft.
