[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3426807, member: 9374"] Just like breaking a lock or picking a lock renders a lock box moot. My alarm is more useful than that, though, it is a pre-theft deterrent (flashing alarm light), it has audible and visual attention-grabbing alerts, it also sets off the paging remote on my keys in the house, as well as sending an alert through the cellular network to my cell phone, and I also get an email that my alarm has been triggered. It doesn't call the police for me, though - that would probably be over the top for a car alarm. Include glass breakage sensors, hood and door pin sensors, battery voltage drop trigger, tilt sensor, shock sensor and a backup battery hidden internally in the cabin - it's pretty comprehensive. Oh and the internal siren to cause actual physical pain inside the cabin while trying to disable any of the above-mentioned aspects. But most car break-ins are smash-and-grabs. Over in 30 seconds or less. But I know of at least one foiled attempt when the car next to mine was broken into and things stolen, then when they tried mine, the alarm went off and they split - leaving behind bloodstained booty (think it was a camera in a camera case) they had stolen from other cars.
