Subject: DML: RE: Alarms, Tow trucks and The Club
I agree with "If someone really wants it .... all they need is a tow truck."
<snip>
As far as alarms go, if you were nearby, by the time you realized it was your
alarm, it was too late.

---> if the alarm is armed --- truck won't start.

As a wrecker driver, I liked the club, it held
the front wheels steady while I towed it from the rear.
--> isn't that a bit tricky if the wheels are turned?
The smart thing to do is use a couple of theft deterrent devices in
conjunction with one another. Like an alarm and a club together, as well as
some common sense as to where you park in public places and what you leave
visible inside the vehicle.
---> Exactly. In Victoria, 80 - 90% of thefts are kids joyriding. The idea
is to make is so difficult that they move onto the next car. As for
professional crooks ... back to my comment about tow trucks.
