What's the battery have to do with anything? I have an alarm that I'd like to go off if the car is tampered with, and the car won't have a head by this evening. It's not like they're going to drive it away. But being that they have a trailer, they could push it up onto it.
I'll take home as much stuff as I can and push it to a position that would be difficult to get it out of.

I like the idea of jack stands and no wheels, unless they happen to be carrying around a set of 5x114.3 rims that car isn't moving.

I don't know, I've never had any vandalism or attempted break ins. It's an Alero, no one thinks anything of it.

I wouldnt sweat it too much, and I wouldnt leave it on jackstands, people are jerks, some kids could walk by and cut brake lines, steal the brakes or be real jerks and push the car off the stands.

No, the fact that it was stolen right next to my car hints that that lot is susceptible to theft pretty easily, and that someone or a group of someones are stealing stuff out of that lot. The cameras the building owner have don't work of course.

A trailer is much easier to steal than a car, not as easy to trace, and easy to turn around and sell for a quick buck. I wouldn't worry about it....

atleast it didnt break apart while you were driving down the road, that could have been bad.

With forced induction the log is fine. When running normally aspirated something like the OEM intake with balanced runners will flow better...

Nah tubular would be superior for sure, but for me it's a low-priority. Trying to fix everything and make it solid.

Copper sprayed
Head back on, torqued to 80 ft-lb (30, 58, 80 for three steps), should be around 14,000 lbs of clamping force.
It should be running tomorrow. Hope for no leaks.
