what's it like?
came out of footy last night and 8 cars in the car park had all had their windows smashed & phones/wallets taken etc and not a single alarm was heard. These were a range of cars, but mostly BMW & Audis.
Luckily, the stang was at Ford due to battery issues so I was in the wifes car and just by habit i parked as close to the club office as possible in the really well lit area :hail:
Anyway, i thought all these high end german cars came with thatchman alarms as standard (like ours) so surely at least one would have been heard? It was suggested that they might have a device that would de-activate the alarm, but surely if they could do that, they could open the door too so no need to smash the window
anyway, i don't really want to give up football but also don't fancy parking there anymore :( I can't say I've ever heard my alarm, even a false one, so that doesn't fill me with confidence :( anyone got any experience of what does & doesn't set them off? how long they go off for? etc anyone installed anything aftermarket that might be better?
