Ok, so now that i have 4 wheels on my car again, after having 2 of them stolen, i would like to know of all the precautions that can be taken to ensure that this never happens again.

A. Wheel locks (i have them on now)
B. Viper Alarm with Tilt and Audio Sensor, with smart start (for extended range, i'll know if someone is jacking up my car if i'm 100 feet or 1000 miles away) (i will have on thursday)
C. Keeping it in my garage when i am home at night (have done every night since the incident)
D. I don't go to shitty neighborhoods really, however, i will occasionally go to the mall, and movie theaters etc. and i've heard stories of people finding their cars on cinder blocks after going to the mall for an hour, even leaving it the bottom level of the garage where there is a security guard. I do however, go to friends/my girlfriend's house and i can't garage my car there. do you think i will be covered with my alarm and wheel locks? or is there something else (legal) that i could be doing?

Also, for those of you with aftermarket wheels, do you have them insured under your comprehensive auto insurance? If so, how do you go about getting them covered?
