they make a lot of cool ad-ons for alarm systems today...I just bought a cheap little $30 alarm off of ebay, wired in Alpine Shock detection sensor, a clifford sound detection sensor, and my dog sleeps about 15feet away from it every night. Fuck protecting it from getting stolen...Insurance can cut you a check, what about getting fucking keyed and shit! that pisses me off more than anything (i've had a 240 stolen, and 2 cars keyed, one with over $800 worth of damage).
