The problem with these unique key and car alarm ideas, is that it assumes the thief is attempting to drive the car. He doesn't need to do that. He just needs a flatbed, a ramp, and a second person to help him roll it up the ramp. Once it's there he can drive off and install his own ignition switch with his own unique key, and it won't matter if the alarm goes off because it'll be safely in his garage where no one is around to hear it.

You don't need a key to put a golf cart into neutral. Once it is, it will roll easily wherever you need it to go.

A boot is the best option, with a steering wheel lock being second best, in theft PREVENTION.
