I think the brake locks, fuel line shut off, battery disconnect and coil grounding switches are all cool and will probably work well for amateur thief's. The motion detectors that send you a message and the GPS trackers should also do a good job unless some pro has the jammer thingee. Most cars are probably stolen by low tech guys so all the above should have a good shot at working.
I am still thinking that a low tech approach may work well against the pros and amateurs. Door and hood switches and motion sensor connected to a VERY loud distinctive horn, mounted in a hard to access area, powered by a separate battery. The horn has to be loud, like a diesel truck horn that you can hear in a restaurant or hotel room. If the thief can't shut it off, you should have time to get to the scene, with your .44 Mag. before the crime is completed.

Yes, if you have a loud horn activated by an intrusion sensor of some kind you will want it to have it's own power source. I remember when the c4's were new. The thieves knew where the batt was and just punched a hole in the side of the car where the batt was and quickly cut the cable to dis-able the factory alarm. Crude but effective.

Old thread, but I thought I'd throw out this option.

I've been using one in my work truck since October and it has proven pretty reliable. Battery life in the cold weather was the only problem. I've ordered another one to use in the vette.

Years ago, someone on the forum said "use a big *** chain." I bought a logging chain at re-store for $18.00 and a heavy duty lock. It's not the answer but amateurs will have to deal with my car chained to my lift. I really don't know how to protect my car at shows, etc. 59 navy

Their website must have gone down for awhile. Link seems to be working again.

What you need is something that sends out a signal all the time or every 20 seconds or so. If they use some type of blocking system and the signal disappears alarm goes off, if it's moved alarm goes off. I would think you could build some type that is foolproof.
