I agree about the car alarms. I love my car alarm, and without it I wouldn't have that peice of mind nor the fact knowing that if my car gets broken into in the middle of the night, I atleast have a fighting chance to go outside and try to stop it if my pager or sirens go off. Yeah its not going to stop a theif in the middle of a mall parking lot but I bought it for the places I park my car the most which is in the driveway, school, or at my work parking lot where there is security everywhere.
Hopefully one day they will greatly improve car alarms to make them more effective. For example, maybe the pager alarms will page you up to longer distances than 1/4 mile.
The thing I do like is the Lo Jack system or the sattelite system you can add onto Viper Alarms to globally track your car if it gets stolen but it is mega bucks and the chances of my car getting stolen are not worth the money. I am much more worried about my system getting stolen than the whole car.
BTW, Kick ass sig! hahah
