   Many people opt for a car alarm.  Before you do, ask yourself what YOU do when   
   you hear a car alarm going off.  Run towards the sound yelling "stop thief" or   
   feel annoyed and ignore it?   
      
   If you ignore it, consider that most others do, too.  What do you get for your   
   money besides a way to annoy people with false alarms?
