Good luck with your install, OP.

It's my understanding that they are expensive to replace after an accident.

Correct. Factory replacement, IIRC, is in the neighbourhood of a thousand dollars.

Fail. Your premiums may not show it the first time, but you bet it'll pop up when you go for a second claim.




I've been pretty lucky, I didn't lock my doors one night (forgot), and some bandits swiped the change and twenty bill in the dash. That's okay, alot better than the people who had busted out windows!

I'll take that bet as I have used my insurance company several times over the years and my premium has never gone up..install the alarm if it makes you feel better

There are other techniques one can do to to secure your equipment...but as was mentioned before, for the most part, if they want your stuff, they're going to get it.

For me I'm usually within 15 seconds of my car. The way I have my equipment installed, it'd take a crowbar to get it out...giving me that 15 seconds at least. What happens when we come face to face? It depends on if I'm "scared for my life" when the scum comes at me with a deadly weapon or not...
