Looking for ideas for a cheap DIY car alarm

[RobertSmalls]

When I park in a seedy neighborhood, I toss my #15 fuse (ignition coil) in the glove box. Go to crank the engine, and the engine will turn but will not fire. Car makes noise, doesn't go anywhere, people look, crook gets nervous and walks away. Or he steals my $10 stereo and $5 in coins out of the ashtray.

Car alarms are a nuisance.

yah, homemade deterrents are usually effective, random crook doesn't usually have time to troubleshoot random circuit mods.

honestly im not really worried about theft

im worried about people who just want to flatten my tires, break or steal small parts, pour paint in or on the car, etc

just general vandal stuff


my car is about 100ft away in the parking lot
i can barely see it but i can hear stuff happening in that area

Something like this comes to mind.

Don't click the link if you're against cartoon violence, or if you like the color green.
