What we need here is video surveillance. That way we can figure out what the heck they're doing to unlock the car. Immobilizers can be circumvented by tow trucks, nobody pays attention to alarms, and you can always fall back to breaking a window.
http://www.wilife.com/Default.aspx I've seen this system in person and it's very nice. They even have night vision kits (They are currently working on an outdoor night vision cam, but haven't released it yet) Get an outdoor cam, place the illuminator in your front window and you're good to go.
You can even set up the software to start recording whenever someone enters a certain section of the cameras field of view (like walking up to your car), or just have straight out motion sensing.
The good thing about this kind of security is that you can catch a face, or a license plate. Thats something the police can actually use to catch someone. No alarm system can do that.

You might want to read this Cnet article on keyless ignition systems.

Keyless entry is still secure, as long as your key card is not being read by others.
Its actually pretty easy to prevent ur key card from being *scan* by other people walk pass you. Just get 2 pieces of Aluminum foil and sandwich ur key card between it. bingo !
you wont be able to open ur doors like that, but u can always take it out of the foil
Bruteforce Cracking takes time, 40-bit code could be crack within a few minutes thats true. Thats why sometimes old school tech works good, streering wheel lock, Clutch/gas lock, tranny lock, etc.
