I never lock my car. If some crack head wants to get in and steal my change and multi tool, let them have it. If I lock it, they may try cut the top open to get inside, which will cost $2k to replace.
It is more of vandalism protection.

An alarm system will never protect it from vandalism.

The damage will already have been done, and an alarm will do jack squat to protect it from that.

You can't protect your car from vandalism. If you want to capture footage of the vandalism being done, I again suggest you Google "in car video surveillance." There are systems available. Here's one example: brickhousesecurity.com

Those seem appealing and like they would be good for uploading porsche video as well, I am just worried that that only protects from the front and inside, more protection for on the road than when Parked.
