The best solution that I have come with is below. With these protection methods, the only way that they can take your car is to bring a flat bed 
1. Place the alarm horn under a metal bracket located by the brake booster. There is no fucken way they will get even close to cutting or disabling it that way.
2. Get a good alarm that has a remote beeper. In this way, even if they do cut the horn, u will still know that the alarm is going off. Make sure to get one that has a pretty good range. (i have a 1 mile range one )
3. The starter kill can be easily bypassed by just push starting the car, so don't rely on them for protection. Instead, wire a relay kill switch with the alarm. This kill switch will kill the power to the fuel pump when the alarm is activated.
I have this setup on my wife's SI, it has saved the car 2-3 times. I had to pay for some repairs for the second attemp, but we still have the car

some guys tried to steal the lipkit off my ep3 once haha it was funny they came through the neighborhood with there music blasting. parked right in front of my car. one of the guys stood across the street under a streetlight (smart move) why the other one was trying to pry it off with a phillips head screwdriver. and the whole time they were yelling at each other back and forth across the street.
i just watched them through the window for like 15 mins then i finally just hit my panic button and set my alarm off. so they got in the truck and drove off haha....
interesting night that was.
Sorry this is the biggest BS story I have seen on any forum for a long time. There is no way you are going to watch someone take a screwdriver to your care for 15 minutes before you do anything. Bullshit

Also everybody needs a dei 520t back up battery. This keeps the alarm going and kill switch working when a theif pops your to kill the battery so he can get into the car and find the alarm system. Which the alarm should be installed in a full stealth install or basic stealth.
