I think the main issue is that the alarms themselves are piece of shit. They get activated when you look at it the wrong way and sometimes not even that is necessary. Good alarm is something unique. You need something that the thief sees for the first time and not something that is mass produced and installed in millions of cars. When a thief sees something for the first time, they are going to pass for an easier target that is not going to surprise them. I have a plaque on my driver side door. It says "I am electronics engineer and I designed the alarm myself."
