so today i am coming home from work (i work on campus so i dont drive) and when i pull out my keys to get in the house i notice the 1/2 with the truck keys is missing. retrace my path as best as i could but couldnt find them. i have a spare set but the alarm fob the buttons are missing, so i have to short it out using a paper clip more or less to get it to work.. real PITA. now my question is, if i get a new fob for it, can the change the code in the alarm so that the old missing fob doesnt work anymroe? i live in stockton (read armpit of CA) and would hate to have someone find the old keys and drive around till they find the truck. it is a Mid level (~$300) Viper alarm. any ideas?

for now i have pulled any thing worth money out of the truck (gps, ipod etc) and pulled the disributor wire. (slow them down at least) any other suggestions?
