I was considering getting an alarm for my teener...but I'm wondering if it'd be worth the effort?
Normally, I'd do it in a car so I can remote-unlock, but in this case, I'd just be doing it to make noise if someone was in the car and not suppossed to be. Anyone else using one? What kind? |

I think the best benefit to pain in the ass ratio is a blinking LED. If they ever get to the point of setting an alarm off, you're probably too late. The LED has the same deterrent effect as an alarm, but it never goes off at the wrong time (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) That plus leaving it unlocked and free of valuables will probably keep it pretty safe.
