Vehicle alarms and avoiding false alarms
Vehicle alarms draw attention to would-be thieves with sirens, beeps and other loud noises. Some systems trigger flashing lights too.
False alarms have reduced the public's faith in this type of anti-theft device. However, a quality product that is professionally installed or adjusted can offer good protection.
An alarm may deter a break-in, but it can't stop someone from driving off with your vehicle. To do that, you need an alarm system that includes an electronic engine immobilizer.
