If my next car has an actual window frame, I'll definitely look into that unconventional trick. Heeeeere, thiefy thiefy thiefy! What a great idea!

I'm not exactly sure how my step brother accomplished this feat, but he managed to get that unbreakable vinyl window covering that people have on their homes, fitting onto his car windows. Yep, wrap your head around that for a minute. Imagine some Thug Jerk trying to break THOSE babies! ^_^ Vinyl window covering.

My parents and brother all got their alarms from the same guy. I assume it's the same model. Mother's car alarm has been activated twice lately, but it was parked on the side of the road, behind some trees, so we couldn't tell what set it off. Fascinating stuff. This is Prince Andrew, apparently, signing off. Back to you, Fred. Funny ol’ world, innit.

I wish I had caught my thugs in the act, and sent them home crying to their parents, but it was not to be. Like your brother's, my new alarm is also set so as to not be sensitive to butt-bumps, cat jumps, or thunderclaps. In fact, I was tapped by another car the other day, hard enough to transfer paint, and the alarm wasn't triggered. This, however, has not prevented me from accidentally triggering my own alarm. Twice. Prince Andrew: Now THAT’S a good story! I wish I had caught my thugs in the act, and sent them home crying to their parents, but it was not to be.

Short version: three or four Creepy Thug Type Chaps tried stealin my brother's Skyline once. Wound up making idiots of themselves, because we were watching the whole time, police on the way, and they actually knew all that. (They saw us watchin them.) They gave it up in the end, with many a fractured elbow from trying to smash the windows. Made a less-than-casual Casual Escape. Anyway, I'm tellin this story because with all the attempts on the car, the alarm was not triggered. I am assured by Brother, though, that said alarm featured such things as Immobilisers and whathaveyous, so even if they'd managed to smash the window (big feat that it is) they couldn't have pinched the vehicle. That is the end of my exciting story. This is very much a Delayed Reaction but I have a story!
