I don't think early cars are a prime target for pro thieves, because there is not a large black-market in 30-year-old 911 parts as there is with late-model Camry's and such.
Even joyriders seem to prefer newer cars, which is fine with me.
That said, I did have my 911 almost taken from my apartment parking garage around 9 years ago. A young punk kid was actually inside the car at 3:30am, probably trying to figure out how to start it, when my alarm started blaring and my humongous next door neighbor ran him off.
Unfortunately, if a real pro really wants your car, there is not a lot you can do other than store it in a guarded fortress or something. Any car parked outside or in a typical residential garage can be swooped in 30-60 seconds by the pros.
