Legal issues aside, how can I shock someone?

Run low voltage through the cars chassis to shock someone who touches it?
I park out in the middle of no where everywhere I go, so I'm just not worried about the "little old lady" problem. I did however have someone come up and key my ride not long ago.
I'm installing a perimeter sensor, but would like some sort of aggressive deterrent. Not the tasar type voltage, just something annoying enough to move someone on to the next vehicle and to possible set off the alarm so I will be paged.
Thanks,

also if you send 12 volts through vehicles chassis wouldnt you then lose ground to every component/whatever is grounded to chassis...?

That's what I've been worried about....the components grounded to chassis....
And at the low voltage that I'm talking about, I'm not worried about kids (they shouldn't be touching the car anyway :D). Anyone with a pacemaker wont park where I park.

Worried about components? I would worry about the battery exploding, running 12 volts through the chassis would create a dead short. First you can't shock anyone using only +V or ground, current must complete the path from + to - for any power to flow and running through the chassis of the vehicle there is no way to isolate + from - in order to shock anyone, and even if you did then the person would have to touch both. Second 12 volts DC doesn't hurt one bit, I barely notice it unless a piece of wire breaks the skin. Third, I believe that this is infact a felony, look into it. It is called mantrap or something to that effect. Sorry, but this post is stupid. If you want to talk in a truly hypothetical situation then I can tell you many ways to set these traps but, an open forum just isn't the place because some idiot, moron, or jackass will probably try to do it and blame the forum.

I read about the most deadly car security system in the guinness book of world records. Somewhere in South Africa, somebody developed a system that shot flames up from underneath the car, like a blowtorch or something, when an intruder tried to open the door without a key. And guess what? They said its legal in South Africa! It said car theft is a major problem over there and authories approve of security systems like that. I bet it would be pretty expensive to hook up some crap like that, lol. But you know what I think would be a good idea? Maybe rig up a windshield washer squirter aimed at about the position an intruder would be standin on the side of your car, and hook it up to a bottle of pepper spray. Have a sensor on the door handle that sets it off if someone tries to open your door. They'd get blasted with pepper spray, plus your pager would go off and you'd come out to find the dirty bastard curled up on the ground rubbing his eyes!

It's actually legal to shoot someone that comes up to your car and threatens you there....
I'd actually be happy with something that would simply activate the alarm shoud metal contact the car...hopefully, I'd be w/in range of my pager, but at least the alarm would be ringing.

How about using one of those units that are in a touch-on lamp in your house?

I actually thought of that because I have one beside the lazy boy that is an add-on unit. Just not sure if I have the skillset to make it work with DC, etc.

How about the window squirter idea but with something a little safer to yourself. You wouldn't want that crap accidentilly getting into your car if you were driving. How about something more along the lines of a dye similar to what they use in bank dye packs. The would be theif would be stained for awhile at least.
