Question:

What kind of car alarm would best help deter vandals from keying my car? It has been keyed again.?

It was a nice day today, but when I went out to my car to get something, all of a sudden the day wasn‘t so nice. I found some new scratches on my car, some of them pretty deep. I am getting so sick of this. I figured I would not fix the scratches until I got an alarm so that these vandals might not scratch my car anymore since there are already scratches on it, but they still keep scratching it. I am going to see if I can borrow a video camera and plant it somewhere, but I definitely don‘t want to deal with this anymore. What is the best car alarm to help keep this from happening again? I don‘t have a lot of money to spend, but I will try to get the best one I can afford. Please help!

Answer:

A pit bull chained to the bumper hitch with a long enough chain it can cover all corners. That or set up a camera to watch out for your car. Keying happens so quick that any alarm would be useless.
Car alarms are really worthless for vandalism unless it is a pager alarm.but even then by the time you show up the perps are usually gone. There is no guarantee a key scraping across your paint is going to set it off anyway. My best advice to you is to park it in a well lit area away from other cars where it will be seen more by other people going about their business. Or, you could get a car cover for itbut that will get annoying after a while.
The one that works best for me is made by a company called Garage
Are you sure they are Magnesium? Most Mag wheels are an aluminum alloy. Assuming that they are real mag wheels they will spark when when you scrape the wall at the race track, but that is the least of your problems at that point.
These are probably a magnesium aluminum alloy. It will burn only if ground into fine fragments or dust. They really did make mag wheels in the 60's for race cars. I have never heard of any fires. Old Ford Racer
