   I am using a Radio Shack car burglar alarm connected to a car light  
(small running light or turn signal) and powered by a 12volt power supply  
sold to run car radios indoors.  The alarm comes with a key switch but I  
replaced it with a push button switch for resetting.  You need a flasher for  
it also if you want it to flash.  It will stay on until reset but after the  
first min or so it cuts out and only flashes a few times every 15 seconds or  
so (mine is a older alarm and the new ones may not work this way.)
   There may be eaiser and cheaper ways of doing this.   I'm using this  
equipment because I already had it (the alarm came out of a car...)
