Unhappy Truck almost got Stolen!

Went to see Iron Man tonight...which btw way was SOOO BAD ***!!!
Anyways, had to park in a parking structure and I had my cut-outs open while I was trying to find a parking space. (Sound was cool!!)
It was setting off car alarms which attracted unwanted attention so I closed my cut-outs. Anyways, I had this weird feeling so when I found a parking space I set my alarm which is after market but not by any means gonna stop anyone from stealing a car if they want it(siren only, etc...). I've been thinking about making a kill switch but haven't gotten around to it yet. Anyways, I decided to alter something on the truck that would make it undriveable. Headed in to see the movie(IT WAS AWESOME!! )
Anyways, when I got back to my truck afterwards the passenger window was busted and the siren wires were cut under the hood. The ignition was not jacked up but you could tell they stuck something in it to try and start it.
Anyways, luckily my little tinkering prevented them from taking my truck and who knows how much time they spent trying to steal it but I'm gonna stop fuggin around and get a kill switch and some better protection.
Nothing was stolen or broken oddly enough, maybe someone scared them off . My insurance is gonna cover the window and the ignition.

Glad to hear they didn't get away with the truck. That would totally suck. Time for some train horns.
