Smart or stupid?
Would it be smart or stupid to get a flashing blue or red LED on my dash that acted as though I had an aftermarket alarm? I know, it may be rice, but if that alone to stop potential intruders, I'm thinking about doing it.

The way I see it, if a thief wants to get in your car, he will get in regardless of an alarm system or not. Hence the term "smash and grab".
The lights could possibly deter would-be-theives. Best advice would be to not park your car in open areas, where attention can be drawn to your car.

This is what I'm thinking. http://www.ebay.com/itm/12v-Red-Flas...-/150813630544
Only flashes when the key is off. |

It would probably keep the "wannabe" thieves out. The ones that are real probably wouldn't worry about it.

The flashing light sounds like a great idea. It's a horrible idea. |
