    Hi
    I need some advice on getting a security system, not any security system I want something that won't add a remote to my keychain, the main thing I'm looking for is a shock sensor

    I haven't shopped these things lately, but it seems to me that several years ago a good auto electronics shop could add a shock sensor or glass breakage sensor to a factory alarm system, so you wouldn't add anything to your keychain.

    Yeah, The only reason I had to upgrade my car was because someone set my '10 yaris on fire and I got a rental '13 sonata which got stolen, I live in a great neighborhood but seems like someone is out for me, I got a lojack installed

    Wow! That's a run of really bad luck. I hope you took out the rental company insurance or are covered under your own.
    Can you install security cameras to cover the area where you park? That might at least help the police catch the guys that are doing this stuff. Any neighbors with similar incidents?
