Even with alarms and locks, better insure your ride against theft/carnap. Kahit na anong theft prevention gadgets ang ilagay mo, it would be good for several months lang. Yung mga thieves, pinag-aaralan din ang mga yan. Alarms & locks would serve as deterrents only. And the alarms are sometimes useless, kasi kahit nag-aalarm na ang kotse mo wala naman pumapansin.

Yung isang friend ko, may alarm sya. Ang scenario ay ganito, one of the thieves was able to open the driver's door. Nag-alarm sabay bukas ng hood lock. Yung isa naka-abang sa hood and opened it up. The third one may dalang malaking cutter sabay cut sa battery cable. Patay si alarm. Kuha tuloy yung stereo and other valuable things inside the car nakuha. Nangyari ito sa La Salle Greenhills.
