OK, let's make a little noise shall we!

Take a mouse trap. Nail it to a (tree, wall, table leg, etc). To one side of the trap run a hot wire from a car battery. Next, run a wire from the trap to a car horn.

Now, run monofiliment line around the area to be covered. The idea is for the gremlin's to bump the monofiliment, tripping the mousetrap, which in turn completes the circuit to the car horn...one wire from the car horn goes back to the battery.

Of course you can always purchase some reed switches, micoswitches from radio shack and wire in doors, windows, etc.

As for the car, take out the door switch, check the color code. Next, get a switch (latching relay is nice) and run a piece of wire from the color coded door switch to the on/off switch hidden in the car. The wire then goes to the car horn again. When the switch is turned on and the door is opened, the horn should sound!

Make enough noise and the gremlins usually leave you alone!
