Get onboard air and just deflate your tires every time you park

Where my blazer was stolen 4 times in a year was a really great area here in midtown Tulsa where a lot of doctors and lawyers and even two local billionaires live. I don't think area matters at all when the crime is auto theft.

What kind of aftermarket alarms can you equip If the doors are Off?

You could air just ONE tire down and it'd do the job!

Don't know. Not really an answer for that one. A battery cut off switch under the hood somewhere kinda hidden. That still won't stop them from tearing things up trying to get it started, just a deterent to make it harder to steal cause now the thief has to pop the hood assuming he/she knows there is a battery cut off switch and its likely a thief isn't gonna try to mechanic on your vehicle to steal it.
Guess you can pull the battery out everytime you go somewhere in it and carry the battery along with you.
There really isn't a way to stop a thief from stealing your ride if they want it bad enough, you can just do little things to make it harder to steal that makes the thief take extra time to steal and they aren't gonna hang around for half an hour to steal your vehicle more than likely.
Do an additional hidden kill switch and a battery cut off switch hidden under the hood are some tricks you can do to make it harder to steal.

I am going to add an aftermarket 2way system with a proximity sensor and not use the speaker. That way when it goes off they will have no idea and instead of them tearing out wires in my jeep, I can tear out their asshole with my .45
