Simple sign(s) works wonders:
"do you believe in the after life? steal this car and find out?"
"if value your life like I value this car? then don't steal it!"

"NRA LIFE MEMBER"
"Colt AR-15 the FREE world's right arm, care to SHAKE on that?"
Signs dont work in this neighborhood, they just get spray painted over. Last fall I had to go all Ed Norton on this asshat who tried to break into my Jeep. It was parked on the street in front of my house at 9am on a friday. If I park on the street, the blinds are open so I can see. Saw this yahoo acting all shady outside, then saw him bust the window. Right after that I come running out the front door wearing nothing but boxers and AR15. Handcuffed the ass to the fence until the cops got there. My point though, is the Jeep has a security system and locked doors and was quick work. If I hadnt been watching, my truck, or at least the valuable in it would have been gone. The Willysis significantly less secure. And how difficult would it be for a thief to hotwire it? Not that freaking hard. Granted, a truck like this couldnt be resold very easily after being stolen, but the parts going into my wagon are worth some money. And I cant camp out with the guns all the time as much as Id like to.
I would prefer to just take a few shots with the AR from inside the house, but the law kinda frowns on that unless theyre a bit more threatening.
Another thing that didnt deter the idiot at all were the security cameras looking right at him. I used to set up surveillance systems and wired my house a long time ago. 10 cams total and people still try to break into my truck. A neighbor tried to steal my dog, etc, etc.
