Do you guys use aftermarket alarms or anything??

i mean i don't know what more you could do besides hope and pray??

I mean i know basically if they want your car they are going to get it, but isn't there something that might help deter or something???

or even like a starter kill??

Default The built in anti theft is a joke and easily defeated, and the car theives in NJ know it

Aftermarket alarms and things like kill switches will help a lot. But you still have to deal with the damage of an attempted theft.

Meet up with some locals and discuss this offline.

If people are stupid, then their cars will get stolen. All you need is an alarm and rear handle mod.

Default I know what you mean but these cars are a thief's dream car

THey punch a hole in the door and lift up on the door lock lever. THat unlocks the door and turns the factory alarm off.. all in about 5 seconds. I activate the APR anti-theft in my own driveway, if I'm not parked in the garage.

Rear handle mod is pretty silly, IMO.
