If you are in an urban area, consider a Lojack system. Most insurance co. will give a discount for that, and if you are gonna get the best policy possible, you will need any discount you can get.

Getting Lojack is one thing....Getting a New York Cop to actually look for your car is another
Call these guys and they make You go to them to fill out a police report.

Get a gun, preferably something big. Then leave the empty holster on your drivers seat. Might make them think twice.

I wouldn't say any part of the city is "safe". I mean anything can happen. Yonkers is like the five boroughs, there are some good spots and there are some bad spots, it's sectional. I'm from Queens and I thought Yonkers would be a little milder but my Accord was broken into over there and my radio was stolen.

Even though the Supra is better than the Lexus in many ways, the SC300 has a little more appeal in the hood.

IMHO...the best way to protect your car is to get a good alorm with a pager function and stay close. The whole point is to make it as tough as possible and/or slow them down. Get a good club like device to lock the pedals and steering wheel. Get a chapman lock for the hood.
You really cant protect your car at all times...if someone really wants your car, they are going to get it
As much as we'd like to, we cant resort to gun's to keep our cars. Not worth dying or killing over any car. My 2c.

Well, if you catch them in the act and they're unarmed no need to kill anyone. Noone should even get hurt unless they're idiots( which it sounds like they are). If they are armed, BANG BANG.

You are funny as h#@*!! Man, I like your direct style. But really, to the guy with the Lexus that parks in Yonkers, GARAGE it when you visit her, or, move her somewhere else, or pick up a piece of Sh#@ car, and visit her in that. No matter what alarm you have, if they want your car, they will get it!!
