That really sucks, dude.

For somebody to come to your court and steal it out of your driveway, it sounds like somebody knew you had a good unit. Take your car in for service lately? Been driving up and down the street with it pumping? Had a falling out with any broke friends? Somebody knew you had it in there to take the risk, and it's a fair assumption that they knew you didn't have an alarm, either.

High deductible + no alarm + driving around **thumpthumpthump** is begging to get hit.

Insurance companies usually give breaks to people with alarms, the $200-400 is worth the investment. EHR can put in an alarm in for $250. Sure, it's not an Alpine with a pager, but it's better than nothing. I have an alarm on all my cars, even the wife's Windstar (lol).

Oh, and if you haven't checked already, make sure that if you have a garage on your house that if you have a remote for the garage door that it isn't missing, too.

And as a side note:
House insurance will only cover car contents.
If you had the new car stereo sitting in a box in your trunk because you just bought it at Futureshop or stuff like hockey equipment or golf clubs are covered by house insurance.
Once it is installed it becomes part of the car, and then becomes covered under the car insurance fire and theft.
