No GPS tracking system will keep your car from being stolen. It will only
assist law enforcement in locating it. Having said that, I keep hearing
good things about Lo Jack (spelling?). Some police depts even have the
software in their patrol cars so they can track it real-time.
What kind of car was it and where do you live?

Thanks Tony,
It was a 2000 Acura Integra GS-R and I live in Parkland, FL. Just west of
Boca Raton, FL. This is supposed to be a nice area, but it seems to be a
shopping ground for thieves. Go figure!

If thieves want your car they're gonna take it regardless of the
security system.
That being said I like "stealth" installs: speakers behind factory
grills, amps hidden out of sight, subs hidden, detachable face-plates
and most importantly:
*never rock out on your home turf*.
The bad guys like what they hear and take what they like.

Hmmm...
It was a stealth install, amps in the tire well (no spare anymore), the
speakers were in the factory locations, the only thing you could see was the
head unit. The car had an alarm and I definitely knew about:
*never rock out on your home turf*
May be I was just very unlucky.

That totally sucks, and I think you were just unlucky. When my car got
nabbed they just grabbed it randomly in the parking lot at work. Of
course when it was found a day later all the good stereo gear was gone.
Least I got the car back and an insurance check for the full price of
the gear.
