I am curious as to what ways thiefs can break past, disable, or other wise get passed alarm systems? Is there any total protection that one person could have to stop anyone? What is the best alarm, not brand but style (i.e. two-way, Gps or other) that someone could have to protect themselves?

Thieves will basically open your hood and cut the siren or battery wire. Pro's can do it in less then 3 seconds. Best line of defense is backup battery or backup battery siren. Second is a stealth install. No alarm in the world is going to stop a tow truck.

Would you believe there are STILL Alarms sold out there that if you were to break one of the Flashing Parking Lights and short the Bulb, it would disable the Alarm??

I have heard of that, all of the alarms tat I have installed have always had fuses at the parking light and dome light output.

There is no such thing as total security thats an urban myth. The key to the game is surviveablity meaning the more you can slow a thief down the better the odds are that you still have a car in the mourning. I.E stealth install, wireless immoblizer, gps, back up battery wired in parrall,

back-up siren, two way paging etc. This should protect your

car against the common high school thieves on summer break.

Well for protection against the pros get full coverage insurance. LOL Remember that no matter how good your alarm is you can never stop a crack head from breaking into your car,but you can sure stop him with a 44. good luck

Lol gotta agree with the insurance thing as stated above. Im not gonna lie though, back in my high school days my friends and I used to go out on a NIGHTLY literally NIGHTLY basis and jack cars. But 2 things we always looked out for: A blinking light, and also stickers. You know the ones that say "Protected by blah blah blah" or "KARR Security" that type of stuff. If any of you live in Cali... and live in Daly City... You know damn well you guys better park your cars in your garage's cause you cant see across the street at night ;)

haha, full coverage yeah....I'm trying to become a first class installer one day, and all the little tips and info helps along the way, It's better for me to hear it first, then wonder later why I didn't think of doing something that way, ya know? I guess I am just one of those permanant tweakers who is always trying to make something better, or stronger. Anyways thanks for the tips. :)

best way to keep the car from being stolen.....Air bag ur car so low it lays on the ground....Then buy a chihuahua that barks at everything and make it live in your car...When someone lets it out..You will know it...

Being a part of the X-Con clan... I can say that a Big Rotti would suffice... yet you will need to think about where you put your alarms brain and whether the siren is accesible or not... most time a thief can get the door open and then pull the hood in a matter of seconds only to cut the wires to the siren and then be off with your car... i would suggest getting a Clifford Concept series alarm... they hace anti-carjack... perimeter sensor with dual stage and one of the loudest sirens i ever heard
