Find a busy spot downtown where you can sit in a bar and watch the street. Wait for a parking violation to result in a tow. It's amazing how fast they can hook up a car.
If someone wants your stook bad enough, no alarm is going to save it. The best you can hope for is the alarm will stop the idiot thieves from taking it or something inside.
My sweet Melissa is never far from my sight when she's parked unsecured. I'm lucky enough to have secured parking at work and a garage at home for her.

Alarms merely keep honest people honest. I'd be more concerned about a carjacker than the car being stolen when it's parked.

I have a question for the experts. Is it possible for a thief to find an s2000 parked facing down a hill, break in and pop the clutch the start the car? I always wondered about this.

You can't jump start the car if the ignition isn't on. No fuel, no spark, no drive. They could maybe coast it to the next block. But thats about it

That's good news for us. I didn't think it would be that easy, but you never know. Thanks
