It also offers a little bit of peace of mind. I know that if I have an alarm on my Jeep and it goes off, noone will pay any attention to it but me and the thief. If I'm at home and hear it, I'll be greeting anyone inside of my Jeep that is not a family member with a 357. If i'm not around, the siren MIGHT scare off the thief on its own. I would think that if they set the alarm off they are not going to stick around for long, maybe just grab what's in sight and go.
But everyone is right, If they want it, they will take it. I just want to stop the petty thieves from taking things out of it. If they take the Jeep, it's insured. But if they take a few hundred dollars worth of electronics or tools or whatever, it really pisses me off. Not enough to claim on insurance but just enough to dent the pocket book.
I've had it happen two too many times and will at least get an alarm. That way I can tell myself that I at least tried to stop the scum.
