that sucks!!! i have often tried to think about just how different the world would be without theives. you will find it surprising just how long you can do that and keep coming up with things that would be different.
i have yet to consider more layered sercurity for my car. no door handles is a great start!  i have an alarm system. i would like to add a keyed battery cutoff too.

That really sucks
Security ideas: Alarm with at least two sirens, one in engine bay somewhere and one INSIDE the car.... additionally you could run a third one under the bonnet. Security film on the windows (makes it very hard to break the glass). GOOD steering wheel lock. Those locking berg shifters look good... Never used one so  . They any good?Flashing led clearly visible on the dashboard (great deterrent) Plan on building the stereo as hidden as possible. Stereo glove box is good, as are the front kick panel speaker mounts (puts it kinda under the dashboard out of sight) NEVER leave anything valuable visible. NEVER run the stereo when you are leaving the streets where you live/5 mins from where you are gonna park. never know who is listening.... Cya, Sam C

The theives tried picking the door lock but when that didn't work they went through the wind wing. If your still running wind wings, then wind wing locks are a good idea. Also popouts in the out position are very easy to break in with. You just need to remove that little e clip and then you'll be able reach the door lock.

Wow Rob that's big money
 Samcat I didn't know that an angle grinder, a jig saw and a dremel would be "valuable". For a college student like me it is big money, but $70 worth of tools? Anyone with a job would be able to pay that sum without any problems........... Well at least I can start the car now......turn out it's just the battery went dead becoz they left my passenger door open, and the dome light drained the battery......

Alarms and security devices will make the punk @$$ theif think again and sometimes it will just piss them off and they will do more damage. But if the pro's want it they will get it. A recovery system might be good idea. and parking in well lighted areas with lots of people around is a smart thing to do even with an alarm.
