Wheel stealing
All you need is a twist socket it takes the wheel lock right off. It is great if you are a thief because it totally destroys the wheel lock nut. So you have to buy new locks once you do it. I store my cars alot and I am always losing my locks a buddy sells rims and tires and gave me one of these sockets works great pound it on and twist the damn lock off. You can get them form places like snap on and mac I think.

Then take a small PMOS transistor and tie its gate to magneto resistor which has 12V across it, and place a 10Kohm pull down resistor after the magneto resistor but before the gate. Then place a series of small magnets across the back side of your wheel in a circular fashion, as to always be close to the magneto resistor no matter the position. Then place 12V on the drain of the transistor, and tie one end of the ignitor to ground, and the other end to the source of the transistor. Make sure you place an on/off switch in the car for the 12V source that goes to the drain of the transistor.
When leaving the car, simply turn switch on. If theave attempts to steal wheel, it will blow his/her arm/hand/fingers off (acitonperoxide is more powerfull than nitroglycerin, and easier to set off, but is stable as long as it's damp and placed in a clay (similar to TNT)). When the tire is removed the magneto resistors resistance goes up as there is no longer a magnet near it, at which point the gate voltage goes to 0 and the transistor opens, causing the ignitor to get really hot, which then causes the black cat to go off, which sets off the "home made TNT" similar to a blasting cap in real TNT. To prevent personal damage when servicing the car, simply shut the on/off switch to the off position.

this needs to get moved to the DIY sub forum and then titled "how to get rid of annoying wife". But add a video of before and after.
There is a 99.99% solution though, just get a set of this

^^^ LOL...
Anyways, I run a set of Rays lightweight lugs w/lock and my Clifford 2-way alarm is sent fairly sensitive. I also had a digital tilt sensor installed, so the alarm will go of if the car is tilted more than 3 degrees (can also be set to 1 degree tolerance).

Otherwise:
Maybe talk to an insurance agent about extra coverage.
Personally, I tie Nikki to a nearby tree:

Haha. I have an alarm just like that but he is all black and named Blackjack.
