^^ waste of time and money. They will either rip off the lojack or by the time you find your Z... the car will be stripped and the only thing left will be the chassis

Sell your 350Z and buy an Impreza. No one will steal it.

Viper 5000 with area sensor, give warning beeps to people that get close and tell me what was triggered, door, proximity or what ever. Lojack WITH early warning upgrade. If my Z is moved without the code chip on my keychain it will send me an email, cellphone call and also call me at home to inform me within 30 minutes max and they (LoJack) will pay me up to 5K towards deductible for any damage done. LoJack does not have a monthly fee, provided they stay in business it's a one time expense and the early warning only cost me an extra 200 bucks.

I guess I don't have that problem. I don't take my Z to the mall, that's what my beater is for.

Park next to a nice car at all time. If you're in a bad area... hmm.... just don't go there to begin with?

i got the lojack early warning system. lojack will call you when the car has been moved. this is pretty good. also you may also want to check out mobile guardine. it's just like lojack early warnign system, but better IMO. this is like a GPS/lojack, this device will call you just like the lojack and you can go on the internet and track where your is at and if it's on the move you can kill the enigne with a press of a button on your keyboard. so that's a kewl system to look into.

Lojack, Alarm, Garage, & Common sense all prevent a car from being stolen but in the end a flat bed tow truck can pick a car in less than 5 minutes. Best thing to do is to live in an area where everyone else drives a nicer car than your z.

Clutch Pedal Lock...I hear it is painful for thieves to deal with. Plus Insurance.
