    heres a system here that I am thinking about, It is a car alarm that texts directly to your cell phone. So you can spring whoever is trying to steal your car. Even if they steal your car you can follow where your car is being taken to by GPS. The system is infinitely programable for different options so this could be one of the ultimate systems. 1 option is remote disable from your cell phone. Another is loudness of the alarm or mute or to speak directly through the alarm via your cellphone.
    The GPS transciever is quite small, the size of a babys fingernail, so it could be hidden anywhere on your car. Still it's a question of how much you are willing to spend.

    Oh yeah I JUST saw a demo at FRy's electronics last thirsday about this, it sounds real interesting... What was the price tag? The demo did not mention and I was in a hurry to get out of there (to make sure my deuce - which was prked outside of the store - was not stolen while I was in there looking for an anti theft devide - HA HA HA!)

    They are pricey. But worth it for the peace of mind. The school next door to us has one on it's third lawnmowing tractor after the first 2 got stolen within 5 weeks of each other, from a locked gate and a locked shed !!!!!

    Sort of reminds me of another storey about someone who got his house burgled, so he got a couple of guard dogs...... Thieves came back and pinched his dogs
