Broken in to, Need a good alarm now "PICS" Alright, worst day I have had in a long long time. Had the car a work over night. I got there and some son-of-a-bitch mother f'er tore the inside of my car to piecies. Lost the head unit, amp, two 10's, farad cap, and both of my custom fiberglass enclosures that I made to fit under the trunk trim panels.
Now I have decided to invest in a good alarm system. Please send me in the right direction on selecting a top of the line alarm that will hopefully ward off a theif. Have used the seach button and noticed the viper 791 seemed to be the prefered among others here.
I dont want a cheap 25 dollar ebay peice. I wont something that will help keep this from happing again.
They spent some time to get my radio out. Had it bolted in to a bracket I made to try to keep it from being taken out.
This is where my custom fiberglass enclosure was sitting, along with my cap.There was also anonther fiberglass box in the other will well opening. The bastards took the boxes withe the speakers in them.
Heres the tint they f'd up pulling th stuff out from the front with the top still closed. How they actually did this puzzeled the hell out of me and the sheriffs officers.
HOPE YOU BURN IN HELL

I have seen a few models that have some type of small camera that you install inside of the car. When someone gets inside of your vehical it seed you a picture of whats happing strait to the LCD remote. Does anyone have one of these or heard much about them.

Just the sort of thread i was looking for. I had my laptop stolen from my bird recently, and from this point on my car will always be fully locked anywhere. I dont keep anything of value in it at this point, but now that i've chosen to put in a full flipup touchscreen nav unit, and accompanying system, i will certainly be paranoid. Honestly, if i could have it my way, my security system would administer a very high powered electric shock to anyone who so much as touched the ************ when armed. But in this day of courts ignoring stupidity and favoring giving the settlements to the people that refuse to take responsibility for their stupid actions, i dont see this security system happening.
If i recall correctly, arent there some systems that have an alarm on the inside of the car that blare so loudly when they sense a break-in, that it is completely intolerable to be inside the car or its vicinity?
With that in mind, i, too, am interested in knowing what model / brand of alarm system is most recommended for our car.

A little googling and i have found sorta what i'm looking for. It seems they are Mini Piezo Siren's, or at Autotoys.com theyre called Piezo Siren Pain Generators

http://www.aboutsecurityconcepts.com...ctCode=ALA-103
... I think this will be a welcome addition to the security system when i have it installed. Hehe, "Pain Generators". Something about it makes me giggle

Thanks for all the input on the subject. I am deffinatly going to get the siren for inside of the car.
Wheres a good place to get the viper 791 from, I saw some on ebay for 200, but not to sure on those, and they didnt come with any other plugins.

Call some local shops. Ask them for an uninstalled price. I've seen 300-400 bucks. You should be able to buy it for under $300. Just use a search engine, one will come up.

i'm stupid at this whole car thing. my dad wants a remote start alarm for his birthday (told mom would help pick one out). so if i buy a viper alarm and take it to a local install place, can/will they install it? i think she's looking to spend around 500 - is it doable?

An alarm doesn't really help anybody, if thieves want in, they will get in. Either by breaking a window, rear hatch glass or even windsheidl. How's an alarm gonna help that?
Leaving things (like a laptop, cell phone, CD case) are all ways for asking theives to break in and steal your ****. High value stereo systems are obvious targets and just asking to get stuff stolen. I've had high dollar **** stripped out of my cars before and honestly it's not worth it.
I weighed how much time I'm in the car vs. the value of the stuff to put in/cost of items vs. how much insurnace would pay out (if any and if I claimed how much premiums would go up).
Another thing would be to leave your vehicle in a garage at night (IF available) and not leaving vehicle at your home residence over night.
Do you really NEED the high dollar HU/Speakers/AMP in your car? Or is it a want? I know it's personal preference. IMHO use the $ for performance mod (those are LESS likely to be stolen!)

one of the worst feelings in the world walking up to your rig and seeing its been bashed up like that. sorry dude.
i guarantee the ******* thieves knew that system was in there and were just waiting for the opportunity...
i still use my stock alarm, but if having a nice one will give you piece of mind its definitely not a waste.
i designed my system to be stealthy and not visable at all when the car is left in public. but even though you cant see that my car has a system in it and i always use a club, its still had 3 break-in attemps the past 2 years. but thats parking in downtown chicago parking garages, and i'm sure they were after the car itself and not just the stereo.
its just a sad fact ******** like to **** with the nice cars people take pride in...
this is probably THE best thing i did to discourage theft:
