Guest Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I got this off another chicken forum here in the states, and wanted to share it with you all. http://www.snopes.com/crime/prevent/caralarm.asp It goes on to say it's not a good idea and I was just about to say, people generally ignore car alarms over here as they're always going off by mistake Am I missing something?

Couperwife Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I think the idea is that any deterrent is better than no deterrent. if someone is breaking into somewhere and there is the chance that they will be seen, they are likely to abort the mission (if there is a loud noise - there is a chance that someone else could be looking in that general direction ) I think thats what it means anyway. cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 That's how I took it to mean. Anything to put people off is better than nothing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 How does that work? I can't activate the car alarm from the keyfob, didn't know you could do that, or is it just more modern cars and not my old banger? (all I would succeed in doing is unlocking the car for them to use as a getaway vehicle!) Good idea though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels4 Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 That's how I took it to mean. Anything to put people off is better than nothing? Exactly! If I were a criminal (breaking the law) I don't think I would just ignore a car alarm if it was going off in the general vacinity. Also there were many other safty tips that might go over looked.
