A skilled and determined thief taking on a well installed responder alarm. Depending on WHERE you are the odds are still in your favor.

As for me, I never go to the mall. I do go to electronics stores every so often, still, I am usually less that one minute from my vehicle in the long extreme.

That one minute with a responder and a backup battery will give me the chance to meet the douche face to face...which I have NO problem doing.

If your vehicle is just sounding off and not able to tell you...it's just a noise maker.

In my instance, I have the ability to show up to a party with some "insurance"...legally...

Maybe I'm an exception.

Put some effort into protecting your investment instead of rolling over and giving the $hitheads a free hit of tar heronie.

my thoughts exactly which is why i went with a 2-way pager alarm system. i've had a couple of false triggers but each time i've run outside to see what was going on and that makes me feel really good when i know i can be notified of any wrong-doing of my vehicle.

Yeah, I've got an alarm(/remote start) with a pager and all, but while the claimed range is soemthing like 1 1/4 miles or 1 1/2 miles (I can't recall), the actual range once you're inside a building is much, much shorter.
