everyone thinks im crazy for buying $800 paging alarms for my cars -
well my paging handset just went off with my truck in parking lot, didnt here actual alarm cause were in a homedepot parking lot but heard my pager on keychain. looked out window and there was a tahoe on 24's parked hella close to mine so i ran outside and the guys jumped in there tahoe and took off after prying my door handle to shit. they took off and i avoided loosing my stereo or whole truck completely. and to the person with the custom shaved champagne colored tahoe on 24's with a big ass sticker on rear windows, thanks for driving such an easy to recognized truck

i spent $1200 on my older vehicle before i totalled it! My denali came with a one way paging alarm. they broke into my truck twice and stole my system once. i'll be putting a viper 5902 pretty soon! sorry about that man and glad you saved your truck

I know its a long shot but your description of the champagne colored tahoe is really close to one I saw at my work. Oddly enough when it was at the store they parked next to a panel van and proceeded to transfer 4 rims 20+ from the back of the hoe to the back of the van.. weird

I might be bias but my advice is go with a CODE ALARM... either way though, make sure whom ever you get to put it in is GOOD at what they do. just happy to hear your foiled the attempted theft...

I've got a viper 5901, I have every option you can load it up with....love the damn thing. It's like having a butler to start my car, and a german shepard rolled into one.

If you yell at my tahoe it beeps at you..

Sorry to hear dude. Somebody tried to break into my truck about a month ago. They tried to pry the handle on the passenger side. I have a Viper 5701 installed. After that attempt, I have installed two piezo sirens inside and have a backup battery waiting to be installed. And yeah, a two way paging alarm is the only way to go nowadays.

Glad to hear they didn't take it. Damn thugs, I hope they get a cap popped in that ass soon and if they don't live to see another day....oh well. Does your viper have a kill switch? I'm just wondering if the kill switch works.

I have a co-worker with an 02 black hoe that had 22's that someone tried to steal last year in our parking lot. Someone must have walked up on them because when he got there it was apparent that his door handle had been tampered with. 5-6 months later he was leaving for the day and noticed his hoe was gone. Found it the next day sitting on bricks. Took him 5 months but he got some new 22's after getting an Autopage alarm with a kill switch. I will be getting wheels next spring after I get an after market alarm.

I would call the Cops and have them get the parking lot Video from Home Depot.

So the cops can be on look out for those guys...probably not the first or last time they will do it.

Got mine after some one took out the back window trying to get in. Let me tell you those back hatch windows with factory smoked glass and defroster are not cheap.

that sucks about your truck

in 3 weeeks i had my pick up broke into 6 times, i was fortuanate to have my stuff replaced very quickly and just as quick it was stolen, i had a paging alarm all it let me know wAS that i was out another 250 for my deductable, i even got a not so legal taser alarm system and man did it work the last time they broke in and stole everything when i jumped in the truck i was shocked till my arm went numb lol, when police finally caught them it turned out that the store i was getting my stuff from had a guy running a crew so everytime i got new stuff he knew and had his guy go get it

now i just listen to am sports talk radio on my stock radio, no one wants it, lol

Hey I live in the central valley. PM me the description of the car. When I see it, I'll let you know. Hate those thieves...they stole my tomtom and broke my driver side glass. That's before I got my Autopage CS700.

Awesome save.

A number of years ago I worked with an engineer at Gould Fiber Optic that restored MGBs and Spitfires. Amongst other things he built his own computer controlled fuel injection system for these cars. Anyway, his security system in one of his MGBs contained a military grade CS gas canister in the ventilation system. If someone drove the vehicle without disabling the security system first, it would do the following:

1. Lock the doors
2. Roll up the windows
3. Kill the engine
4. Vent the CS gas canister into the cabin

No need for a loud siren. He all but begged people to steal it just to see what would happen. It was a beautiful Primrose Yellow (a Jaguar color I think) with a lot of chrome.

^ with my luck I would be afraid of having that system malfunction and get me with the cs gas.
I have heard about electrified door handles, I would be willing to give that a shot though.
