The best theft deterrent for a Saab is avoiding putting on a sticker advertising the stereo you have inside. "Alpine, Clarion, Kicker..." translated means "please break in, take a hatchet to my dash, and use your clumsy fingers to pry out alll my goodies" The next best theft deterrent is putting on a sticker that says "my neighbour owns an Accord".
