      I've looked at car alarms, and all of the alarms I've seen (about 6
different brands/models) had a microphone you mounted somewhere n the
car. Even just tapping keys on the windows would set off the alarm. Also,
depending on the experience of a burglar, an alarm won't deter him(her???
let's not get sexist!!!) that much. I know of someone who can attest to that
fact!!!!
