I'm thinking about security and other stuff.
This is what I'm scared of -

This is less than one mile away from my house - and it's the third 60's/70's Chevy or GMC that someone has nabbed within a couple miles of my house in the past 3-4 months.
Some things I'm thinking about...
Theft...
- What are you guys using for theft prevention; alarm? Starter kill?
- For those of you with money in your trucks, do you have a GPS tracking or recover system in your ride?
- What do you suggest for theft protection for GPS tracking/alarms/immobilization?
- What are some options I have to prevent people from popping my hood and disconnecting my alarm?
Insurance...
- Are there special insurance packages and rates for classics?
- Is it possible to get some kind of "theft" coverage for my truck?
- Are there things I can look into to protect myself from vandalism and theft?
I've got some obvious concerns. A guy that owns a supposed "auto shop" at the end of my street was found guilty of running a chop shop over there a couple of years ago. I recently saw a 94-96 Impala belonging to a local car club member ride out of this place and never return. I see at least a dozen cars drive into the place a week and they never return - and the local cops aren't doing anything about it this time around. (Lots of funny smells coming from there too).
One of my coworkers lives about a mile away and someone tried to steal his late 70's GMC truck a month or two ago and it's in much worse shape than mine, so this stuff is weighing heavy on my mind.
TIA for input.
