ummmm lol. Thats original.... And so true how nobody cares about car alarms. they are honestly just a nuisance. Some chcik left her porsche door open at a golf course one time, and i closed it to be nice... and the alarm goes off.

Honestly, i think if i seen all that **** going on in a parking lot or something, id be scared to even go near the vehicle... out of fear!

But at the same time, i think the dude trying to get in would most likely take a huge dump in his pants. So it may work to your advantage after all the hard work to set everything up.
I dont think i would ever try anything that intense lol.

the whole "parked" thing i'm pretty sure is just a common misconception

if you are parked next to the street or on the side of the road and that thing goes off, i am willing to bet that any cop who sees it will say something to you or write you a ticket.
