Even The Best Car Alarms Will Not Guarantee Theft Prevention
January 31, 2009 by Dunkin
Allowing for the fact that the purchase of a high quality car alarm could be one of the more expensive investments you will make, it is obviously important to you. However, even the very best car alarms may not be able to stop a determined and highly skilled car thief. Amateurs and first time opportunity car thieves will almost certainly be scared away when the alarm is activated, but many professional car thieves will see it as a challenge and persist in their attempt to steal your car, even with one of the best car alarms fitted.
The more basic car alarms will have door switches wired up to the car’s horn, or perhaps even a loud siren. However, the better car alarms will also be equipped with sensors on the windows as well, just in case the thief bypasses the doors and breaks the window to gain entry instead. This allows the thief to help himself to any valuables left in the car or, alternatively, haul the vehicle away with a tow truck. Even the motion sensors and temperature sensors that form a part of the best car alarms, are not guaranteed to stop the thief who uses a towing vehicle to remove your car.
The absolute best car alarms will also have tilt sensing switches to recognize when the vehicle is being lifted by a tow truck, or even when it is moved using wheel sensors. All of this means that even when your vehicle is equipped with one of the best car alarms around, incorporating all the bells and whistles, an experienced and sophisticated car thief could still be able to disable the alarm.
Remote Control Alarms May Slow The Thief Down
Many of the best car alarms are activated by the use of a remote control that is an integral part of your door lock system. This remote control, with a unique code built in, can only be deactivated by using the specific remote control transmitter codes. You would expect that to ensure the safety of your car, but technologically savvy car thieves can position themselves nearby and, when the car’s alarm is deactivated by using the remote control, hold a device which can capture the code. This device will then save the code and the next time the vehicle is not in use and the alarm turned on, they will have in their possession the code with which to turn it off.
Some of the best car alarms, which can cost considerably more, use a code system that changes automatically every time the alarm button is pressed. Using a progressive algorithm assignment system each time the alarm is deactivated, the alarm receiving unit’s computer will change the code to render the code useless should it be stolen by the thief.
Not everyone’s budget will allow for the purchase of the very best car alarms, but when used as a deterrent they can keep all but the most determined and experienced car thief from driving away with one of your most prized possessions. How much you can afford for one of the best car alarms will determine how well protected you are against having your vehicle stolen.

Time to stop throwing parts at it (the alternator was not a good candidate) and do some actual troubleshooting. Besides being expensive, throwing parts at it means you will never know if it is fixed, just that the problem has not popped up recently.
The place to start is to see if the car responds to starting fluid. Get a can at a car parts store and keep it in the car. When the engine dies (or now if the engine still doesn't start), open the air cleaner and spray the starting fluid on the air filter for about two seconds and put the top back on (no need to clamp it because you want to catch the problem in the act) and try to start it. The best indicator will be that it runs for a couple of seconds and dies again, having burned off the starting fluid. If so, that means the fuel delivery has quit but you have everything else to make the engine run. That, combined with the test in the first source, will probably confirm a bad main relay. The main relay, which is basically the fuel pump relay, is the most troublesome part in Honda cars. Forget about the fuel pump itself – I can't even remember a time somebody had a bad fuel pump in a Honda. If the problem is fuel delivery but the main relay passes the test in the source the fuel filter rises to the top of the list.
If the problem is not fuel delivery – if the engine does not respond to the starting fluid – go to the second source for the other common possibilities.
Edit – by the way, I love the thief's frustration! Almost makes it all worth it.
Oversensitive car alarms are one of the new banes of my existence. One outside has gone off about 30-40 times today.
I would recommend splitting up your idea into paragraphs as it was difficult to follow.
You said the uncle had an airplane company, but then talked about Jeeva making the restaurant successful. Did you mean the airplane company?
When you talk about his aunt and grandmother living with him, the first things that comes to mind is Jeeva, his aunt, uncle and grandmother all living in a small house together. I would find this hard to believe if the uncle owned an airplane business.
His aunt, uncle, grandma, cousins' characters would have to have a bit more depth.
The deal with his nephew isn't a bad idea.
Later on you say Jeeva is sued and put in jail for life. Then you say that he becomes a watchmen in the Vizag area. How did he get out of jail?
Jeeva having OCD seems like an interesting idea. However, OCD doesn't seem like one of those "bad disorders," even though it can be debilitating to those who have it. I say this because when people have to have something done a certain way they often refer to it in a manner that undermines its seriousness, e.g. "I am OCD about doing such and such."
Overall though, it sounds like it has the could be a good film. Develop it a bit more and it could be excellent.
at 2:20 my car does that i set up the suspension hehehe
cause i’m bad for your health
You know, I was wondering why the car alarm still survives, and now I know why. I had never thought of putting “inside” the car where the cabin is. That is genius. Sure the whole neighborhood is going to ignore your car alarm but if it is right next to your ear, you are not going to. And that is what a car thief would have to do. Genius. At least if he did steal my car, I know that in return, he is deaf.
lolz TFOT.
