Any help by anyone who knows about alarms would be much appreciated.
After five years without a problem, my SVT gets hit twice in six weeks. The first time they only got a pair of sunglasses (can't believe I left my Oakley's in the car) but managed to cause $1500 in damage (and I ate a $300 deductible).
This time, about $1000 in damage but they got my stereo and I am out another $300. And ... if I get two more comp claims in the next 2.5 years my insurance company will jack my minimum deductible to $2,500.
So ... it's time for an alarm. I am parked in a secured (yea right) underground but I think this was an inside job (the only cars hit were the ones outside the fileds of view for the surveillance cams ... someone would have had to know exact fields of view to have been that accurate). I am on the second floor overlooking a courtyard with my car right underneath the courtyard. I get AM radio and cell phone reception where my parking stall is and my guess is the distance is less than 1000 feet.
I want an system with a pager ... will Black Widow or Autopage be good enough? The Black Widow is FM for the pager and the Autopage is AM. Any suggestions on models?
I haven't looked at alarms for years ... is there any chance they can sense the force being exerted by a pry bar in the window channel before the glass is broken and the channel itself is ripped to shreds?
