Do you guys think that the evo is attractive to car theives? how many of you had your car stolen and what can we do to prevent it?

anything with a remote starter has a way in to your alarm systym meaning i would not reccommend it why do you think that cliffords best alarm offers no beeper or remote stater the simpler the better also including that it changes codes everytime you open the door which is safe just in case they zap your code on your alarm the thing is that remote starters and alarm with beepers dont offer this

It fits my needs. In my town, there's some Ford Escorts or an old Jeep that might get stolen like once every two months. Vandalism wise, the 2 way pager helps a lot. Most people who would approach my car with intentions of harm would vandalize it, not steal it. So the beeper helps in these situations. My remote start isnt hooked up at the moment.

Why are there so many run-on sentences? Ouch. I checked here because I thought there might be a theft prob in Australia... I guess that's what insurance is for.
