Escort makes a portable GPS tracking device that can be hidden inside the car, and it is automatically armed when you leave the car by a keyfob with proximity sensor.

The question I have always wondered, however... If your car got stolen, would you actually want it back?

Thanks for the response. I'm leaning more into the Viper alarm, auto start and smart module. I like phone app where I can talk to my car if I get bored. LOL

That's is great to hear. Not sure if the USA cars are still in danger. I think the Viper Alarm has a rolling code feature.

Get a good insurance and move on with life. That's my $0.02.

If someone wants your car really bad, they can and will find a way to get it. This is not rocket-science. All these security systems are created by engineers and some other engineer can figure out a way to circumvent the system. It's all a matter of how determined the thief is.

For peace of mind when parked in a not-so-friendly neighborhood, I lift up the shift knob and take it with me
. I've done it a few times; just make sure not to loose it
