ANd how do you know what method they used? Because they can open the door using a coat hanger. The alarm would go off for like 1min and then turn off.

Thats why I park in my garage and no one gets near my car when its parked...I wont stop anywhere shady and I always park where you can see my car.
Then again with a DVD player and subs you have to watch out and be like that when you live in a terrible poor town.
Luckily people dont steal too much of the really good stuff. The only people who have good stuff have enough connections that you wouldnt want to screw with them.
