the idea that any car even could be safe from thieves is laughable. all the crypto in the world isn't going to stop someone from smashing your window with a crowbar. hell, in SF it's safer to leave your windows open and doors unlocked with nothing inside.

don't leave valuables in your car, and buy insurance against theft.

The point of the car alarms and crypto is to notify you if your car is broken into, that will act as a deterrent.

That aside, many car thieves will even steel airbags (very expensive), and you can't exactly go around dismantling and removing them every time you leave the car.
