Car stolen from my garage -- thieves using a trick to blow all the fuses?

Hopefully these will deter the next would-be window smasher.

This is a Quicktime movie. After my VX was broken into (passenger side window smashed), I installed custom "chaser" LEDs in each side window of my VX. The LEDs are tied to my new Clifford Matrix RS-3 alarm. They are much brighter looking than in this video. I installed them myself and hooked them up to the alarm's ground-when-armed wire. That was a chore and a half! FYI, the ground-when-armed wire is normally connected to the starter disable. When you attach an accessory to this wire, you need to put a 1-amp diode in-line between the starter disable and the alarm control unit, otherwise you'll get a constant ground leak even when the alarm is not armed... consequently running your accessory, (such as these LEDs), at all times. That took me a while to track down.

I think his mother should join him in prison. Some people just shouldn't have the right to have kids. Just think, we pay taxes to help thousands of kids like him to be in school and then in prison. I guess in the end he gets his "education", not necessarily on math or english.

Damn Grant... that's nice! I wish I could do it without having to go through that whole hassle (it's not going to happen).

Looks nice... kind-of K.I.T.T.-ish.
