LI, best protection going forward is try watch where you park and have the right insurance coverage. Don't rack your brain over what kind of alarm to buy because they really don't matter. For example, one techique the pros do is drive up, smash your window, reach in pop the hood and drive away in 5 seconds flat. Most times no one pays attention and the alarm eventually stops. Then they come back 1 hour later, lift the hood and disconnect your alarm and it's all theirs to do what they please. Even though car theft devices have gotten sophisticatged over the years, savvy pros will always get around them uncaught.

I've been pretty lucky with cars including the H2 over the years. I leave my H2 in the streets quite a bit and purposely keep all "toys" out of site. I also park as close as I can to busy intersections.
And if my time comes, that's what insurance is for.

Hang in there and good luck finding the overhead console. Sounds like Spike has one option.
