I am interested in reading whatever material is available regarding the
techniques used in modern electronic car alarm systems.

After having done a fairly thorough study of the makeup of the state-of-
the-art alarm system which I had installed in my new car about a year
ago, I am all but convinced that someone with a moderate amount of elec-
tronic hardware knowledge could design and build something as good -- or
better -- at a MUCH lower price than what I paid (assuming, of course,
that you don't take into account the costs of your own labor :-}).

If anyone knows of any recent books or articles on this subject, please
let me know by mail.

Let me emphasize that I do NOT intend to use this information for any
illicit purpose.  However, if someone feels strongly that this kind of
stuff should be kept obscure, please send me a message explaining how
you feel, and I will take such input into consideration when deciding
how much (if anything) of what I find out I will summarize to the net.
