Diy Silent Car Alarm?

[VB-]

hey guys, had some prics go through my car overnight a couple of times in the last month or two, so am looking for something cheap i can rig up myself. idealy something that will see a 12V signal and send a signal to a remote pager. range doesnt need to be much, like less than 50m, but bigger would be better for whe i go out and stuff.

please no comments of 'what if you go out there and hes got a gun' or anything like that, i am well aware of the dangers. yes i could just start locking my doors and avoid the whole situation but i'd rather break legs

should visit jaycar or the like. hook something up to the door light so when they open it you will know. that or tie a string from your door handle to your little toe..ha

Why not just fit an alarm and be done with it?

Because they will run off when they hear it, but if the pager goes off, VB can meet them at the door of his car and... well the rest is up to him.

SAU does not condone violence

but id much rather the alarm go off and scare them, than have to meet them while they are halfway through ripping out my stereo and turbo timer...

its a VL and the only thing worth stealing is a $300 head unit, and believe me, i will more than make up for $300.

as said, alarm means they will run, i need time to get out of bed, wake up enough to comprehend the situation, arm up, and get out there before they can run.

i've already got it worked out how its gonna be rigged up, B1 is on the right track, i just need a reciever that when it sees 12v will page me. been trolling the jaycar page but cant find all that much for specifically what i need. there is a full alarm/pager etc for 300 but meh, dont wanna spend that much on this car lol

There are some really cheap pager alarms on Ebay, like $45 + $20 postage. Try searching for item 330228454424, or just search for "pager alarm".

You could just wire up the bits you need, if you dont want a siren dont install it.

its gonna be pretty funny if u actualy catch them and do something to them and get charged with assault

employers love reading that kind of stuff on resumes !!

if you catch somebody breaking into your car, arent u aloud to 'restrain' them with reasonable force?
