unfortunatly as statistics show more and more cars are flogged off each day - what would be the best preventative measures to keep your car secured from thieves?

Boomerang tracker Systems
Or any tracking system
ultimately no car is safe from thieves if they want it they have it
i know a friend who returned to his car and found his tracker box and wires on the floor where his car used to be

Personally i prefer to insert my nitrous {N20}
rectally for the addded head buzz and long lasting effect

lee a good option that comes with a few alarms these days is to get your phone instantly messaged when your alarm is triggered, much cheaper and more convienent than a pager and could save your car from some damage by vandals or perhaps a theft... good feature imo...
manual kill switch with your alarm too, club lock (decent one) and maybe one of those wheel clamps..but they would be a hassle to put on all the time and further more i dunno if they are kind on rims  |

hey wouldn't the messagebank server have to update therefore producing late messages resulting in car good buy -tho im getting that a pager system would be much more realtime.
yeh i think any tracker alarm is the best in the market currently - but they dont come to cheaply to purchase. |

i would imagine they would make such services real-time... doesnt really serve a purpose otherwise... i havent got one myself but im pretty sure that the messages are instant since it wouldnt be very costly or hard to implement, best check with the alarm retaliers tho  |

I just hav an autobarn alarm system with microwave only about $500 and what u do is just have it set at real sensitive, You cant even look in my windows without the alarm going offf which is good when u have a half decent sound system. Its a bit of a pain though as its forever goiuing off. Its also a good help if other family members have good cars with no alrm just park them besides each other and one car alarms the other  I do suggest tho you get the installers to show u how to change the sensitivity of it so if ur going somewhere where alarm is bound to go off 1000 times u can put it as less sensitive  Hope that helps |

any alarm system is only as good as the installer that fitted it.
i've seen cars taken with tracking systems fitted.
if they want your car they will tow it onto a tilt tray and drive off.
there are many alarms out there that are expensive and will do the same thing as a cheaper one.
if you want more peace of mind and dont mind paying a bit more i'd go for a black widow traker. these can be had these days for around a grand fitted.. i dont know about the quality of the install though
if you just want a message sent to your phone get a Rino Ram... that also has the feature where you can have multiple outputs from the alarm that can be turned on or off by a sms from your phone... i had one on the fuel pump... if someone takes your car you sms it and the fuel pump dies... the car aint goin anywhere! but for 1300 fitted its a bit expensive
if you want a cheap but still very good alarm i'd go for the dynamco s75b... its a simple alarm system with no tracking or sms ability but it has optional 3 point immobilisation and comes with a shock sensor and a glass break sensor as well as a battery back up siren... these were going for around 500 fitted at one stage
