I had weird dreams like this about my modified 1.8t mkiv - came true one Monday morning when I found the whole R32 interior had been stolen.
Our street is quiet, but overlooked by 6-7 other houses. It was nearly unbelievable! 

Anyhow, back to topic - I think it's very hard to stop some devious lowlife who's hell bent on your car or its parts. Still wonder to the day if I had heard my car being broken into, would they have stopped & scarpered if I came out into the street, or would they smacked me one & continued regardless.
 
I had a Clifford proximity sensor on a mk3 Golf - it was a nightmare. Always going off in the rain, when the postman walked past, etc. NOT something that would encourage your neighbours to check out, if it's sounding out!

Best I can advise - a CCTV system and a tracking device. CCTV may put off an opportunist, or give a few clues of any strange activity if a professional has been after it...

A properly installed alarm system... Clifford Avantguarde is the best thing I've ever installed in my car..

Tilt sensors, proximity sensors and glass sensors as well as blackjax technology... As well as additional sirens situated around the car...  :happy2:
