RE: [DML] Car Alarm Question

["Video Bob" <videobob@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

One of the best things to add is a car cover.
Wal-Mart has a good one that is water proof for about $50 or so.
I use it.
If people don't see it they will usually leave it alone.

If you do get an alarm, get the good one that has an interactive remote.

It is unlikely that someone will break into and actually get in because of 
the
complicated door mechanism, but you may get vandalized.
That is the biggest problem.
Since a perp can't just key it, they will try to break off a mirror, a light
or flat the tire.
I once heard of someone running over the top of the car smashing the 
louvers.

I recommend the car cover because, I park my car outside and all the time 
there is
some wanker coming into my yard and taking pictures of it.
The other night at 11PM some a-hole was ringing the doorbell while my wife 
was
here alone, she didn't answer the door.
I have a security camera on the car at all times and she watched this dumb-f 
stand around
and take video of the car for about 10 minutes.
If I had been here I would have flipped.
I told her next time to let "Mojo" (our 125 Rotti) out on the front lawn and 
fires off a couple
of rounds from my Desert Eagle.
If he wants to see a DeLorean he can go rent BTTF.
These idiots have ZERO respect for us and our cars, they touch them and get 
their
greasy finger prints all over them, and I can promise if they think no one 
is watching they
will try to take a souvenir with them.

Get a car cover!
