    > It's also unneeded: it's nearly impossible to start a modern car without the key. > But, as Roger Morris at the National Insurance Crime Bureau explained to me, guys will "break in, roll the car to a vacant lot, and strip it for parts. Breaking into cars is a billion-dollar business." In Brazil they rob the sound system, and other things, in place. Maybe that's more common with older cars, that only had a CD player, but it happens. With my sister's car, they just broke down the door (like, folded it down a bit), stole the stereo, the CDs, and other stuff that was inside. You know those car stereos that you could take the front off? A friend of my parents did that. They keyed the car, screwed with the door, and wrote that the stereo would have been cheaper... So yeah, I would say that an alarm might have helped in those cases.
