Consider a car alarm. I have accidently triggered an alarm on a parked car by walking too close.
Put your car in a garage.
Get and electric car.

I have a friend who had there converter stolen in San Jose. My brother in Fremont caught three thieves in the process when he heard noise outside his house at 4:30am.
1. Sensitive motion alarms may help.
2. Garaging will help if you have one.
3. Be sure to file a police report as soon as possible.
4. Have effective outdoor night time lighting on.
5. Consider installing several surveillance cameras.
6. Check in with neighbors to see if they have evidence on their surveillance cameras.
We should all be watchful for suspicious people in our neighborhoods. Have the police department non-emergency phone number on your cell phone.
Hope this helps.

Where are these low-life thieves selling the precious metals? Maybe our elected leaders can introduce some bills to ban buying precious metals from individuals. Or the buyer must keep a detailed record of each transactions. Any transactions over a certain amount will be reported - similar to banks reporting any deposit transactions over a certain amount.
