Unfortunately, I think that they discontinued the interior motion sensor.

Default I mean, thinking about it, it wouldn't be hard to make a small cut, hit the unlock button...

On the center console (turning off the alarm in the process), and then letting one's self in and helping one's self to whatever was inside the car.


Perhaps ironically, this would be even easier to pull off in the rain (because one would have an umbrella), and if you were nonchalant about it, no one would suspect that you were looting from a car.


Spooky.

Default With the alarm on, the interior unlock should NOT work!!! I guess it does, though? That's not very

smart design.

I believe the door handles would work from the inside regardless

What if you accidentally lock someone in the car? Or yourself...

Default (I should note that I tried to find the Family Guy clip with Peter locked inside his car...

But the internets did not smile upon me.)

It's an alarm, not a trap.

Default Brad, I'm sorry this happened. I've always had a fear of this.

Surprise no one saw the theft. Are there vid cameras in the garage? Maybe they have footage of the robbery.
