So I came out to a shattered steering column this morning after someone tried to steal my 93 k1500 from in front of my house. Does anyone know of where I can get a metal shield that wraps around the column to prevent access to the column? Sorry if this isn't the right category, any help would be great as I am having no luck finding one

I know they used to put metal collars on the steering column of cars of that era totto prevent this kindwkind of attack and I know they make them for other vehicles still, but havent found one that fits my truck. I'm looking for an armored collar like the one here: https://louisville-police.org/400/Anti-Theft-Devices something that would serve as a visual deterant as opposed to something that stops them after they have already shattered the column, pulling fuses or relays isn't realistic for daily use.
Also can you recommend a good alarm?

I'm sure people don't like it. So I would really want everybody to chime in on this opinion. Personally only aftermarket alarm I looked into was the Viper one. My truck however came with an alarm from the factory. Right now I'm still using the factory alarm. Reason why I like the Viper system is because it can send notifications to your phone. And that's really good if you're indoors and somebody decides to sneak up on your truck. If I picked an alarm system it would be something that's really smart that would notify me via message on my phone or something that is really dependable

Hard-Steel is the collar you're thinking of. I bought a couple a looooong time ago. They fit and look OK and nobody stole the vehicles I had them on, but on the other hand I have seen stolen vehicles that had these collars and the thieves just tore through them. So they're pretty much like most "anti-theft" products - they'll just slow them down a little.
