After seeing cars at my apartment complex broken into (for the purpose of
ripping off car stereos) twice in the last 6 months, I was wondering if
any of you out in netland had any (nearly)foolproof methods for keeping
unwanted people out of your cars.  First of all, I was lucky, and my stereo
was not taken, nor was my car broken into.  This is probably because
I keep my car covered with a locked car cover-the car is, after all, a
VW Rabbit.  So, do any of you have any idea how this can be prevented?
I should add that I already have an alarm and a "Decoy" to hide the 
stereo.

Thanks in advance
