If that's the case, maybe I can just get a warning decal and a blinky light, and forget the expensive alarm. Personally, I think the best theft protectin is to park next to someone whose car is more expensive than yours. I routinely park my 3 year old Geo Prizm next to Cadillacs, Porsches, Audis, etc. The way I see it, a thief isn't going to bother with my car (which has a club on the wheel), when he can go after the more expensive car next to me (which usually doesn't have anything on the wheel.) ---------------------+-------------------------------------------------------- David Charlap | The contents of this message are not the opinions of david@visix.com | Visix Software, or of anyone besides myself.
