I always thought  if I would add an 'alarm' to mine that a high voltage coil
(like my Dad use to arm his cars with in the 40's) and a 'pain generator'
(125 db piercing siren inside the car) attached to a motion detector, would
be the two most effective methods to first prevent entry, then make them
wish they hadn't done that, if they did manage to get in! (I'm sure you have
some good ideas too, BOB??)
