Re: Protecting Personal Property from Thugs
I just read another post that suggested turning on the car alarm to ward off thugs on your car. That's a great idea and that's why I read this forum, for the great ideas. Why didn't I think of that? Car alarms with panic buttons are cheap nowadays, too.

Re: Protecting Personal Property from Thugs
You'll get a quick response in Plano, but in South Dallas, where I've called the cops before, it may take 30 minutes or more. Have you ever noticed that there are no traffic cameras in South Dallas and Oak Cliff (the "bad" parts)? That's because the peeps there are brazen enough to steal POLICE PROPERTY such as traffic cams. The nasty truth is that if you live in the "bad" part of town, self-defense is gonna be DIY.LAYGO wrote:(1st post!)cubbyjg wrote:I guess i can see the point in using the alarm on your car. I was thinking if i was in that situation i could use the panic button and then call 911 saying i think someone is trying to break into my car right? Wouldnt that warrant the PD to come by then? I could just omit the fact that i set my alarm off
As I've read all these scenarios, I know I'd be more inclined to confront if PD was not available. Reading more into it, I think the creative solution is the right one COMBINED with a call to PD saying "my alarm is going off with many people I do not recognize surrounding my car." Then insert a Joe Horn statement here that "I'm armed & will defend my property as needed".
That will surely get a faster PD response, right? You don't necessarily confront, but you get a resolution.
