I got the Clifford avant guard with tilt sensor and proximity sensor.
It's the best alarm out there plus I'm looking into the gps system that you're
able to monitor with your computer
But like they say If they really want they get it
well at least I'm lock and loaded waiting for my alarm to start sounding

Park by something nicer so they take it instead. LOL
If they want it, they will get it, your best bet is to make it easy so they wont tear it up and install a GPS tracking device so you can get it back.

BTW for everybody saying this is a repo issue it's not. Do you think only repo guys can own tow trucks? Or that all repo guys are 100% legit? If any of you have seen project repo that is probably the cleanest cut repo crew I've ever seen- definitely "made for TV".
The issue is that tow trucks are starting to become the weapon of choice for thieves. There's SO much information out there about how to remove a car using a tow truck, info learned from the repo industry. A tow rig can be build VERY cheap- like $6k cheap. What you'll steal in parts from 2 high end cars you'll break even.
This is why any high end car NEEDS GPS tracking. There is truly nothing you can do to prevent a tow truck from getting your car if you have it parked outside. Even a slammed car can definitely be towed with the right tools. Also nobody will question a tow truck- they'll just tell whoever sees them they are repoing it.

slow your roll man, not jumping on you at all. There's just a lot of people that aren't necessarily aware of just how big of a risk getting their car towed by a thief is- auto security is only partly prevention and the fact is there is absolutely nothing you can do to prevent a tow truck from taking your car. Recovery is far more important, and that will only happen with a properly installed GPS tracker (and not lojack- inaccurate radio tracking)
no worries..my roll is slow...i have a stock motor

There's an alarm that has a radar under the car that gets activated when armed. It senses changes in height and x-y movement. It'll set off the alarm when it does this.
You can also get it paired with a gps tracking system that will send you a txt message when the car leaves an area, goes faster then a set speed, or have it notify you when the radar is triggered.
