a car alarm was going to be my next purchase but like everyone says its almost useless. Heres the thing, while living in st. louis i would wake up from a dream where my shit was gettin jacked, id go check my car and nothing, finally im back home in madison, AL, where i dont worry bout that shit really, and fuck they get my shit while its out in my driveway.....the stereo equipment was half a gift and half i paid for (over $800 total) and my cds were my collection ive been buying for the past couple of years, this totally blows, the cops were useless, so i just hope this guy dies a slow painful death, i feel totally violated, someone broke into MY car and stole MY stuff....the car is parked in the garage tonight and will be for the next couple of days, i still have to figure out what to do....thanks for the sympathy....
