Stolen MP3's?

Agreed...I think I spent something like 300 or so on mine from the dealer, and at times I wish I had waited and gotten something like the above mentioned $650 pain inflicting type of alarm...I'd be much less nervous.
I think that alarm sounds like a very good investment, considering the obsession we all have with our cars.

Kat,
they can cut the battery line on my car all they want but that wont disable my alarm. If my battery line is cut my battery back still supplies power to the system. To get to my back up it takes about 5-10 min if you know were it is. If a pro really wants a car nothing you do can stop him he will get it somehow. but people who just do it for extra cash or joy rides, they will not bother with the car if it starts going crazy and they cant stop it within 20 secs or so..

Like someone said INSURANCE so if they want the sub they can have it........Get money get a better one........Our sub is good but it isn't that good......I really don't know a lot about systems....I have taken my car to a few stereo shops.....A few times the guys told me that mazda put the sub in backwards......It should be facing the other way.....Let me know if any of you guys think this is right what i was told.......
The sub is not worth the effort of opening the trunk. It actually really sucks compared to anything but the absolute cheapest stuff out there. Now the 828 is worth protecting. Always take the face off. The radio is not worth much without the face. Kenwood purposely sells faceplates for near whata whole new radio costs just to detur theft. Also if you have the 828 turn on the security code.
P.S. Getting glass out of the door is a b**** once the car is broken into!

I don't think they call alarm systems "anti theft" devices, but rather "theft deterrent" devices. If I really wanted to, I could lift the car on a platform pickup truck and drive off to some secluded area and slowly gut the poor car. So short of wiring a cyanide bottle or car bomb to your alarm you won't be able to prevent a car theft from a dedicated and professional car thief. Although I think it would be cool to electrify the body of the car with say, 10 kV, like those cattle fences, so that when you take it to shows nobody puts fingerprints on it.
I just had my mp3 broken into last night. I think this thread jinxed me because after reading it I decided to buy a car alarm this friday. But they just couldn't wait till then so I could watch them quiver on the pavement with their ears bleeding from the noise of the alarm, which I am still getting friday but I think instead of paying 400 bucks it'll be more like 750 or so. I lost my 919 and the sub. They broke my drivers side window, scratched up the stereo surrounding area, broke my rear view mirror, and stole $2500 dollars in cds. So I think next time I am going to be prepared!

hey I remember those. Do they still make 'em. They cost like around $200 if I'm not mistaken. I always wanted one. Anyway, If you know where I can get one let me know. thanks

True. And a pro isn't going after cars like ours. There's really no market. They want the stuff that sells quick, Toyotas, Hondas (for parts) and high-end stuff like Porsches, Jags and BMW's. Pros are generally part of some big fencing operation or some insurance scam thing. We've got watch out for the window smashers and stereo grabbers. Basically, bored kids on Summer break.
