Last week, while I was returning DVD, my gf was sitting in my car.
(giving me..."i am tired to get out of the car"....."go alone and return it like a man"..... and all that)

anyways...I locked the car for her safety and ran into store...

She called me a second later saying, "Hurry up....alarm is going off"

Of course I didn't run back.....
cuz I thought she tried to open the door (since I locked it)

anyways....
She has been bitchin' that I didn't run back to the car asap while she was sitting in & alarm was going off
for every day x 7 days now......(i am serious thinking about dumping that beeotch.....haha...j/k)

The point is
While I was reading this post, I asked my gf to see if she tried to open the door...
she said NO...and she said she was just resting with eyes closed.

so I thought motion sensor must really sensitive.....and I worry less that my car would be stolen
but.....umm.....yeah.....must be PRO that really knows things...





p.s. I've heard many stories people abandoning cars in desert (on the way to Las Vegas from LA) and set fire.....and report insurance company car's stolen.....is it true?
sorry...don't get me wrong...I am not accusing anyone here.....

You're confusing the interior motion sensor to the tilt sensor. The interior motion sensor detects motion inside the cabin so it wouldn't take much for your (soon to be ex- ) girlfriend to set it off. If a closed car is picked up and moved, the tilt sensor would go off, not the interior motion sensor...

In all honesty guys, if someone stole my car, I wouldn't want it back either. I take care of my cars and I know if it was stolen it would be beaten up. Yeah, the body shop could fix it up, but it would never be the same to me. Even if I was to get it back, it would be gone just as soon as I could get to the dealer to trade it in.

You parked it outside? You don't have a garage?

You ever been to NY? Although I have a 2 car garage, many people that live in the city don't have one.
