What does the immobilizer/alarm do, exactly?

When I lock my car with the key fob, the lights blink twice, no horn.

When I unlock it, they blink once, no horn.

If I lock my car with a door or trunk ajar, the lights blink twice and a get a quick 'toot'!

With the top down, and car locked, I can reach inside the door, grab the door handle and open the door without triggering the alarm. What does the immobilizer actually do, cause it certainly isnt preventing theft. :troll:
