Are you really going to run out in the middle of the night and confront who ever made it go off. Can you say, thief with gun goes bang. Screw it. That is why I have insurance. I don't even lock the thing at night. I just make sure their is nothing in it to tempt the idiot thieves. If the want in it? They're going to get in it. Sharp knife through rough will take care of that. As far as stealing it. Crap the ignition in the thing is so complicated. Good luck with that. I'm sure someone knows how. But they are way more likely to steal a Ford 150. Much more nondescript and easier to unload. The best way to prevent it from getting stolen is have someone put a kill switch on the fuel pump that is hidden.
My two cents on the subject.

Well the main reason I need to hear it is because it has gone off for no reason a few times and I have been fortunate enough to be awake and see the lights going off. Im afraid it is going to false alarm some night and me not catch it because I cant hear it and it will run the battery dead. Where I live I am not too worried about someone stealing it but I dont like leaving it unlocked either.
