Why Buy a Car Alarm?
Over a million vehicles will be stolen this year. Don't be a statistic.
The so called "factory security" simply does not provide the protection you need to keep your vehicle and its contents safe.
"When there were horses, there were horse thieves..."
It's pretty simple really. There are bad people out there who want to steal your vehicle, or break your window and steal contents out of your car. According to the FBI, there were an estimated 794,616 thefts of motor vehicles nationwide in 2009. The estimated rate of motor vehicle thefts was 258.8 per 100,000 inhabitants.
Nationwide, nearly $5.2 billion were lost to
motor vehicle thefts in 2009. The average dollar loss per stolen
vehicle was $6,505.
More than 72 percent (72.1) of all motor vehicles reported stolen in 2009 were automobiles.
These numbers don’t take into account the value of contents stolen from vehicles ($1.3 billion) plus accessories like wheels, airbags and headlights stolen off vehicles (nearly $530 million).
According to our calculations, cars get stolen
every day (actually every 1.5 minutes!)
Auto theft and content theft is a nationwide
problem, and cars get stolen in virtually every city and town in
- The bright flashing LED next to your
mirror or on your dashboard, and a security sticker on your
window lets thieves know your car is protected by the
best-selling security system in the world. Experienced thieves
don't want the hassle – they typically move on to an unprotected
vehicle.
- All our security systems detects impacts
to the vehicle with a dual-stage shock sensor, which is
sensitive enough to distinguish a light touch (which emits siren
chirps) from an aggressive intrusion attempt (which triggers the
siren to full sound).
- Most of our security systems come with
Starter Kill, designed to put a stop to "hot wiring" and to keep
your car where you parked it. The combination of the shock
sensor, siren and starter kill immobilizer provides several
layers of defense against your vehicle’s contents and auto
theft.
Experts recommend Layers of Protection
The four major layers recommended by the

The average stolen vehicle costs the owner $6,505 + a lot of hassle!
When your vehicle gets stolen headaches will come your way very quickly.
You need a police report
You need to deal with your insurance company.
You have to rent a car, ask a friend or relative to give you a ride or even take the busL. There is always a chance you’ll get your car back (or not), which delays your decision to buy another one.
If you get it back, it might be in a mess, violated and who knows what else...

Sense of Security? – Think again!
Does that keychain just opens the doors or is it a full-featured alarm system on your new car?
There is a simple way for you to find that out:
Roll your driver’s window down and lock your car with the remote.
Reach in and open the door.
Does your horn honk? No horn – no security.
If your horn sounds, that means you have some type of security – when an unauthorized entry is detected.
The other test will be to find out if the system detects glass breakage, but we suggest you NOT to try it TOO HARD.
The truth is that very few factory security systems include a shock sensor.
