tell me, was it Pyle brand?
It's really not all that hard to get past an alarm. I use to see it quite often actually. The most effective way of preventing theft I've found, by far, is a stealthy install. If they can't see it, can't get to it, and/or don't know it's there they're most likely not going to attempt to break in in the first place.
