No one pays any attention to alarms, so if you can't hear it then well......

SO I would recommend getting one of the types that also pages you (viper makes a good one)

I have had alarms on cars and still got stuff stolen, but at least with the paging I could see/hear something was wrong and go figure it out(worked great on my motorcycle!!)

I'm looking for a better one as well...

My dad was telling me there was one that would completely shut off your ignition from the steering column if it went on for long enough or something?
