And my experience with policemen has been that they don't put a lot of effort into finger printing for a vandalism case, unless they have a suspect already. Most of the time they just write down a report and look around the car. Stealing the entire car is a lot bigger of an issue than stuff like stealing the radio and stuff.
Just get good insurance, a low or 0 deductable is nice to have. And of course a security system is a BIG deterent to any non-professional car thief. If you can't afford a security system, installing a flashing LED in your dash can be a big deterent.

That's why you have insurance. Dont leave anything of value in sight in your car.

Yup, keep full coverage on the car, keep anything of value out of site. Also, I hate to say it but people who put on body kits, spoilers, stickers, ect. are just painting a bullseye on the car. Anything that attracts attention is more likely to be broken into. Anyways, the FBI doesn't get involved unless it is a major organization that is doing things on a large scale and moving in and out of more than one state. It's a local crime so your municipal police will handle it.

I use to have a KENWOOD MP£ player with a detachable front so that you could take the fascia with you. On one occasion I was running late for work and I 4got to remove the front. Went back to my car at lunch and some fucker had put the window thru and stolen the stereo. There was a security camera directly on my car but security siad for that one day the cameras were down for maintenance! It was a fucking inside job I tell ya! The security guard thought it was quite funny that the cameras were down for that one day! He, however wasn't laughing quite has hard when I went and torched his house later that evening.

In my Probe the amp, cap and Sub box are all firmly bolted to a 1/2" think piece of Plywood that's cut to fit the rear hacth area of the car. The plywood was bolted down in several places and then the stereo components are bolted to the wood. It'll at least require a thief to do a little work to steal my equipment. Plus it prevents stuff from sliding around, and the wires are all run under the plywood and emerge through holes drilled in the wood in strategic locations.

We'll, if you live in a home, you can install a camera in front of your house with night vision. If you work and have cameras, park near them.
Best investiment is an alarm system. Even a $200 alarm will do the trick. Most thieves are punk ass 15 year old pussies and the majority of them are scared of alarms. My car was broken in to when I first got it, put an alarm in it and it was never touched again.
If the car has money invested in it, you can go to the extreme and get a pager alarm, fuel and ignition kill switches, club for wheel and clutch/brake. If you want to go to the extreme, boomerang tracking system.
If you want to catch a thief after it gets broken in to gl. Cops in my area don't give a shit if your car gets broken into, so I didn't even bother with them when my car was broken in to. If you call them over they will just jot down in their books and hopefully report it. They will never take prints or anything like that.
