I have Autopage on my truck equipped with a IR sensor that is easily reachable and adjustable. When I bank it on the rivers I turn up the IR so that my alarm goes off when anybody is within a foot of my cab windows. Ring ring ring on my keychain remote and I'm back a the truck quick. I've actually caught people hovering around my rig this way. Easy to do but not cheap.

I also have a siren bypass switch that I enable if I really want to get covert and bust a potential thief. Now the lowlife that is peeking in my truck windows has no idea that he just paged me to my vehicle. With Autopage and an LCD bi-directional remote, you know exactly what zone is violated (doors, prox/IR, hood, shock sensor, etc.)

This is a great vigilante tool because you can't hear your alarm go off at the vehicle, but you will hear your keychain remote singing away.

The ONLY alternative to watching your vehicle physically, responding to Autopage alarms, or leaving a large dog in the car is to LEAVE NOTHING OF VALUE IN YOUR CAR, espcially in plain sight. If you can't take it with you, then get a PYTHON lock made by Master Lock and thread it through everything so the burglar has to take forever trying to get your stuff out. Works great for luggage, tackle boxes, rod cases, etc. Easy to grab one thing and go, but imagine trying to take a trunkfull of stuff that is all chained together with a Python lock. If you can't stop them, slow them down.
