It'd be cool if the alarm turned on the stereo with a loop that says (loud enough for the thief to hear but not loud enough to be obnoxious to other people) "The owner is being notified you're in their van" (or to that effect).
- unit_circle 6y agoThis is a good idea. I've had lots of ideas about alarms and how they could be better after that break in. I have a fence electrifier that I'd love to get set up but I don't want to fry anything inside the van. Another idea is something that sets off something _extremely_ loud inside, like a firework. Sadly the off the shelf part does the job well enough that I will probably never invest much time tinkering. I've asked the vendor about public APIs but they are not interested. If someone builds a simple car alarm kit with cell connectivity I will gleefully rip out the old system.
