Re: alarm trickery

[MIKE <lerb@redrose.net>]

	Yes i have a Competition stereo in my car and i have been "hit" four times
now...They only got away with items once tho (before i got my alarm system
setup correctly) It has been attempted three times since but they were not
about to stand there when the alarm goes off for 3 mins straight. The first
time i got hit they got away with over 5K of items i had in the car. I was
once into R/C racing very heavily and had all my stuff loaded into the car
for a race i was leaving for at 2am because it was a four hour trip. Well
needless to say this happened to be the day they desided to "hit" my car. I
also lost my entire stereo system wich was valued at over 7k (new prices)
at the time OUCH! not to mention they got away with my entire collection of
cds and tapes. Needless to say i needed to figure out a way to prevent this
from happening again. If anyone needs any advice on how to protect
themselves from the "VW hit" e-mail me i will give you all kinds of ideas.
