Lojak is probably better than just an alarm... Alarms can be defeated...
Just don't TELL EVERYONE you have a Lojak...

Another good thing to get ($28.00) is get a spare tire lock for your
$500+ spare tire/rim...

And get a cutout of Clint Eastwood (Dirty Harry era) and place it in
your front seat...
