I have a Crimestopper pager alarm system.  A couple of days ago I parked
in a legal area outside my house and was towed away.  I couldn't understand
why my car was missing!!  Guess what...it was towed because the alarm
kept going off.  It's supposed to go off after three minutes.

I've had problems with the unit before.  Also the paging unit doesnt even
seem to work around the block from my own house.  Does anyone have any
experience with these types of alarm units?
