No matter what you do, someone will find a way to steal it. All you can do is make it harder for them.

I've seen those tow truck lift things in use a lot on South Beach....they move hella fast.

I've seen GPS tracking that you can set warnings on. For example, you are on vacation and under no circumstance should the car be moving....well if it does you can get a txt, e-mail or phonecall...

Haha I have a guy in my neighborhood that chains his truck to a cement post he put in. Dude is crazy. I kinda just wanna cut those chains just to mess with him. Seriously it looks like a bike chained to a parking meter.

Why? Did you forget to make a payment?

I'm the same way! Other than my garage, I'm never more than a couple hundred feet at the most away from my car. It's also always somewhere I can see it.

I removed my tow hooks, I have an alarm that will alert me if someone is messing with it, but I am still paranoid about my getting stolen. Especially after someones SI got stolen from my complex.

just put it on jack stands and take off the wheels every night before you go to bed and put some kind of lock on the wheel studs so no one can come and put there wheels on.
