No howling sirens, no flashing lights.
An intensified microwave beam alarm is built into the car, perhaps right in the front seats.
Thief breaks in, sits on the seat, triggering a motion-sensor which activates the microwave beam defense. The invisible beams instantly make the theif really sick
and they won't be able to continue the theft.
Just hope he doesn't puke in your car.

That's not an alarm; it's a booby trap. Illegal in many municipalities. |
|
| |
I say booby traps are OK. Nobody should be messing with your stuff anyway. |
|
| |
Fine with me; I was just pointing out that the name is wrong. And that it may be illegal... |
|
| |
What if they're just after your stereo? |
|
| |
Now, now, legality in certain places doesn't change the merit of the idea. |
|

Although honestly, I thought microwaves warmed things up. I didn't think they could make people puke. Then again, I'm no expert. |
|
| |
Stereo, what stereo? The alarm has frazzled most metal components inside. |
|
| |
what if you forget to de-activate this "silent alarm" and YOU get sick? huh? cant argue with that! |
|
| |
This sort of alarm practically already exists. A device
attached to the steering wheel gives painful, repeated
electric shocks to a would-be thief. And, though police
departments don't recommend it, this seems to be legal. |
