PE>> This time the police took fingerprints (on Monday).  I want to obtain
PE>> a silent alarm, and I will ring 000 when it goes off.  What's the
PE>> cheapest option I have?  BFN.  Paul. 

JT> No real cheap option for alarm center calling type systems.  They don't 
JT> call 000, but another security place, and this type of system is usually 
JT> used for houses/offices.  You would need a mobile phone for a car type 
JT> arrangement. Most likely they would take the phone anyway.

They have baby alarms, I'm not sure of the details, and they have walkie
talkies, what's so expensive about the technology I need?

JT> There have been some "car tracker" prototype systems,
where a gps system is
JT> installed in the car, and it transmits its location if stolen.  Might be a
JT> bit expensive for the sigma though.

I don't want to track the car being stolen, just being broken into.

JT> I think your only real cheap option is to take the carpet out, then there
JT> will be nothing left to steal, they've taken just about everything else.

I wish to catch thieves to make Australia a better place, and effectively
secure the whole carpark.  BFN.  Paul.
