Default Alarm System for half doors?

I have an '09 stone white Rubicon 2 door with the the soft top and half doors and would like to know if anybody could help me out with an alarm system that would work. I'm basically just looking for something where the alarm would go off in somebody sticks their hand anywhere inside the vehicle. Had a viper alarm that did basically that on my old '02 mustang GT convertible, but was hoping someone here could help out a little for something made specifically for the Jeep.

Thanks Nickell80

Not many folks have the half doors so be patient on a response. A lot of people are gonna be jealous you got those tho.

Most decent alarms will allow you to add a microwave/motion sensor. These are highly unreliable though and are very prone to false alerts. Every installer I have talked to has warned against them. That being said I will probably be putting one in my soundbar pointed down at its lowest warn-away only setting. This means if someone reached in it would chirp a couple of times. Between softtops/trailcovers flapping, leaves, and birds I think the falses would be too annoying if I went with a full alarm. Also I've been told that the range /sensitivity changes depending on the moisture content/density/temperature of the air.

Just some food for thought.
