Clifford, Toad, Scorpion

Get the Clifford Cat 1 with remote fob start, that way at least your getting something that just security to show for your probable £500.

Try and get an alarm with a "Pager" device. Least you know when the alarm is going off then...

I have one made by Vision. I wouldn't recommend them, but I've heard that toad do a pager, and maybe Clifford. I think it's worth the extra
