I know whose vand'lzing my car, how do I stop it?

I couldnt believe my eyes tonite. I was coming up the street tonite. Ahead of me was a car containing the very kids who I suspected had tried to crack my door lock on my Mercedes came up the street .
It stopped outside my house for a few minutes. The door opened and the kid got out and started going up the driveway but thats when he saw me and he got back in and left.
I dont want any trouble. Besides a big part of me siad maybe I was imagining things and watching to much TV.
My Zen says peace, time and patience solve everything. For all I know this kid is going to be a decent upstanding citizen someday.That plus the fact that maybe I was just imagining....
Until then whats the cheapest Alarm solution with a motion sensor that will make the loudest noise? The car has an oboard alarm but I disarmed it because its way too sensitive, it goes off even when I'm driving-maybe the previous owner messed up on the radio install.
I'm not sure whats going on with this car, whether its going to be sold or kept, but I dont want too have to fix it again or worse get it taken for a joyride...

1. Get the license tag # of the "perps" if you can.
2. If not and you can I.D. the little Bastards ALWAYS REMBER , THERE IS
AN ADULT(s) WHO ARE LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE, UNDER THE LAW FOR THE
ACTIONS OF THEIR CHARGES.
3. Install inexpensive motion sensor spotlights in the "Drive" + any other
areas pertinent.
4. Call the Police , does your local jurisdiction have an anti-terrorism unit?
5. In this day and age, if I were a Lady who felt threatened , there is no
way to tell who , or what the agressors have as an agenda.Call your
local U.S. Senator's office and raise hell about being stalked by
Potential Terrorists !

Start with the lights that go on with a motion detector. That should at least encourage them to look elsewhere.

Make sure to freeze the paintballs, that will give them some more encouragment to go elsewhere.

and an automatic gate closer to lock them inside your property. LOL

Get a digital camera that works on the motion sensor- proof for court.

If you were in Texas you could legaly shot at them. Motion sensor lights are probably the way to go. Theives don't like light.
