I would be amazed to find someone willing to go through the hassle to 
steal a coupe these days..they simply aren't worth the $$.

Most of the time once the factory alarm fails on my cars I simply leave 
the car as it is..locking only.  Given what's involved to get around the 
vault that is the tumbler you really have little to worry about IMHO.
