The anti-theft system could cooperate with monitoring systems. They complement each other. It's the best way to protect your property.

EDIT: This has nothing to do with anti-theft devices... but:

If you have a friend/family with a garage, ask them. Pay if necessary.
That's what I did several years ago when my motorcycle needed a safe place for winter break.

I paid a guy $40 a month to keep my really nice, newly painted, 20 year-old Solara in a building where he stored other cars for other people for profit.

When I picked it up from him several months later, it had nicks and dings and scratches all over it.

...I guess I should have said "friends/family that can be trusted"

All along I've been searching and comparing prices for car GPS trackers, steering wheel locks etc. but then realized, BRZ's have an engine immobilizer, correct? Meaning it can't be stolen without the cars near by. Or am I incorrect in this thinking and someone can still steal it without the keys?

It's a 2015 BRZ Limited 2.0.

Thanks!
Is it a manual? If so, that is all you need. Hahaha

I'm sure it will be very useful for you to read this. Good luck to you in any case!
Let me guess. It uses bots.
