   I hope you are alone.  Bitch and Moan......Awww!  I don't know about you
   but I have alot to protect in my car and if my alarm goes off once or
   twice a year........tough!  I have 4 different sensors in my car and it
   RARELY ever goes off.  If it does....it is because some ass bumped it or
   something.  So....as you say it.....DEAL WITH IT!
           Thanx,  Rob Runkle
   P.S.  Lets see if we can make everthing perfectly silent for this guy.


You completely miss the point.  One comedian referred to audible car
alarms as "urban crickets", and that's exactly what they are.  NOBODY
PAYS ANY ATTENTION TO THEM!  They are useless!  When an alarm goes
off in my street late at night, do you think people come running
out to see if it's their car being took off?  No, they roll over and
go back to sleep.

I don't see any point in buying an audible alarm.  There are exactly
two things that I would do: the Club, and lo-jack.
