Well I got the call this morning.... They found my car 4 miles away from where it was stolen. No motor, bumpers ,seats airbags, exc... Just a shell with 4 wheels on it. Im going right now to take some pictures before its towed.
All vin #s scratched off, the way they new it was mine was found my insurance card in the car..
Good times....... I spoke with insurance and they said it cannot be repaired its a total loss.
Anyone wanna buy a shell?
Im almost positive it was stolen and stripped local. Im going to take pictures now ill update later tonight...

Back in the day, I had a well sorted '87 K5 Blazer, lifted, wheels, stereo, etc... I really enjoyed cruising with the top off, but always felt nervous about the security of leaving it parked topless. Sooo, knowing how easy it is for thieves to steal GM products from the 80's (grew up in body shop), I put a hidden aircraft electrical circuit breaker in the fuel pump circuit. I mounted it, hidden, but within easy reach. Never had any issues.

The reason car security is so easy to bypass is its wireless so its just a matter of getting into the computer and disabling it.
I'm not a security systems expert but I'm guessing if the put 128 byte encryption into that stuff it would make it a bit harder to crack open.
The safest bet is a garage with a dog in it, that way it alerts you to intruders.
Sorry to hear about your car getting found with nothing left. Car thieves are brutal and in the big city that stuff is bad news. Chop shops all over the place. Police are ****ing worthless. If they cared about theft more insurance rates would be a lot lower.

Security is definitely beefed up. And about half the neighborhood and police will know when someone enters my garage when they are not supposed to be in there. If the police don't arrive quick enough, they won't be walking home.
All I can really hope for is that these thefts die down.
