Car entertainment system.

Hi everyone!... just taking the occasion to wish you all
a happy xmas and a fantastic 2005.
It is said that we should be all more generous during
the xmas period, well I have donated my car's sound system.
In fact, I had it stolen from my alfa 156. I suppose I had to expect it
I fitted in a DvD system with a powerful set of speakers and relative
amplification. I didn't bother fitting an antitheft system in the car
because I used to live
in a quite secure area with my own garage. Now that I've moved to a more
central area
I have to park outside my house, and after only a couple of months, the car
has become
an excellent target to go after.
I'm about to get an antitheft system fitted but I would like some advice on
what make
and model can help me to sleep more during the night. )

If anyone would like some pix of how the system looked, just ask for them.

Please ask for photos in the Newsgroup, I won't be able to receive
e-mails.

I have a Metasytem alarm / immobiliser in my Giulietta. Seems pretty good,
but whether it would actually stop anyone is another matter......

I've wondered about this for some time..but does anyone actually ever
steal Alfas? I've never heard of one! A half decent immobiliser will
stop a joyrider. I suppose the next owner of mine will be stealing it
from me but that's just the cr@p Alfa residuals!!

Hope you had a good Christmas and have a good New Year etc etc.. I was
working AND had the Mother-In-Law to stay. 8-(

I dunno about stealing, but there have been plety broken into. My 75 for
example, has a rogered passenger lock cos of (I assume) a
scrote+screwdriver scenario.

I always try to park next to something more 'desireable' as well. Adn I
*have* to set the alarm, cos we have no external locks on the Giulietta,
and it's the only way to lock it
