I've got a Viper alarm, anti falsing, visual and audible identification
of the alarm being set off in your absence and identification of the the
point of intrusion. I didn't get the "area" alarm although I may have it
added later. 

I agree w/ the advice about not parking next to the Porsche.

Keep in mind NO alarm will deter or stop a professional, but they will an
amatur. If you're targeted by a pro you'll lose the car.
