If you live in Calif or NJ a US Army Sentry (special forces) might work if
backed up; anywhere else...  "who would steal that thing" my friends would
say.....

I have been without a car alarm but I keep insurance on it (USAA). Or...
Jim... or (synchro westy) You could keep it at my house   based on years of
research I have found that my garage is the safest place for synchro westys
(or any car) not one has been ever stolen out of this garage.

If you life in real questionable areas the best is to add a hidden kill
switch  other than that

If you aren't a really good and I mean good installer I would have the store
install it (best buy, C City....... Local Store..)  The one I had was
installed by a non professional and the thing never worked right so out it
came

Subject: Car alarm recommendation

List, subject line says it all. Van was broken into the other night
and was wondering if anyone had some recommendations on an alarm for
the van.
