People ignore car alarms. I know I do. You're better off putting that money into car insurance. Besides, who is going to steal a Yaris? Most people steal high powered cars, sports cars or really common cars to strip em down for parts.
People tend to leave economy cars alone, apart from door dints at car parks. If they do steal your Yaris, that's what your insurance is for in the first place.

Why lock your doors? Burglars just ignore your locks and brake your windows? You're better off just buying insurance.
In reality, a car alarm is very useful, unless you often park your car in the middle of BFE, where no one can hear it. If a car alarm goes off at the mall, and people see a broken window and some random person scrambling around with stereo equipment in their hand, they usually call the police. Sure a car alarm won't stop 100% of thefts, just most.
And this isn't "Gone in 60 seconds." People steal economy cars MORE than exotic cars.
