Yea, that's prolly it's biggest downfall.

If they were able to "hide" the system in the car better (and in different locations on each car) and give it a short term (24 hour?) backup power source, it would be a bit better. At least then thieves would have to do some more research before stealing the car and deactivating the OnStar.
