In reality, a car alarm is very useful, unless you often park your car in the middle of BFE, where no one can hear it. If a car alarm goes off at the mall, and people see a broken window and some random person scrambling around with stereo equipment in their hand, they usually call the police. Sure a car alarm won't stop 100% of thefts, just most.

And this isn't "Gone in 60 seconds." People steal economy cars MORE than exotic cars.
Disagree totally.

Look at all the lamborghinis and ferraris on this list. wow.

As for car alarms - Every insurance company gives discounts for a car alarm - amounting to 10s of millions of dollars a year they are losing - why? because car alarms work, and they make that money back NOT replacing stolen cars. Like I said, they're not gonna work EVERY time, but saying they're useless is a little ridiculous.

The club - now THERE is a useless auto theft deterrent.

Ah, but look at the year the cars were made on that top 10.
