As mentioned, if someone really wants it, they will get it. If nothing else, they can just winch it up onto a flatbed and deal with the anti-theft measures at another time and in another place. Friends in Caracas had a series of 80-series Land Cruisers that kept getting stolen. They had an alarm, kill switch, club and padlock bolted to the tunnel over the shifter. And still they would get stolen in the middle of the day in the middle of the city while out shopping. But I really hope the OP gets his car back. This kind of makes me nervous about ever having my car in LA, not that that is currently likely. I don't really have to worry about this in my part of the country.
