Ok either A: Get some lock tight and put it on the threads.(or something else to lock the antenna down.
B: Get the R&M antenna and hook it up so that when the cars alarm is armed that it has 15,000 Volts ready to hit somebody! Just need it to be grounded by somebody's hand.

Hell, they did you a favor. The factory antenna looks like crap anyhow. I intend to replace mine with a billet antenna from RM Racing. Just my two cents, though!

I think the idea of a using loctite or a more secure antenna is just asking for panel damage.
I'd like an antenna mounted on a swivel so that you can twist it but it doesn't loosen. Maybe like one of those child proof bottles where you have to push down or squeeze. And also have it trigger your alarm.
That way the thief starts unscrewing and the alarm goes off, but the antenna doesn't seem to come off. They keep unscrewing but nothing is happening, meanwhile the alarm is making them nervous. Eventually they give up.
If my experience with child proof bottles is correct only a 4 year old could successfully unscreww your antenna
