240sx security

[AceInHole]

so someone decides to break into my car....  they thankfully didn't feel like smashing the window open, so instead they try to break the door handle off.  luckily, in their weak attempt to steal my car or the stuff in it, the lock rod from the handle fell off and into the door where they apparently couldn't get to it, so they left my car with a f**ked up handle and a lot of mashed sheet metal (my door).  the stupid f**ks tried to do it while my car was parked in a well lit area which was supposedly patrolled by hotel security (I was at a college rollerhockey tournament in New Jersey), near the door where i'm sure a lot of people walked by even at late hours of the night.

So, if they f*ck with my car while it's supposed to be relatively safe, what the hell am i supposed to do when my car is somewhere where security is even worse??  
Basically, I'm looking into a good alarm system (I like the idea of a 2-way paging alarm, even though everyone says they're cheap and inaffective), but this topic is open to any other experiences at failed security or whatever.

Lord knows I would have been extremely pissed if someone had gotten away with all my hockey equipment.....
