Sounds like a good device - and not too unreasonably priced for the protection it offers.

If they want it they will get it. I have a buddy that is a repo guy and he can have that vette in 30 seconds or less.

This is the system he has here. I would say less than 30 seconds.

Nice system, but to quote someone I heard:

"There's going to be a lot of slow singing, lot of flower bringing, if my alarm starts ringing!"
