[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 4316847, member: 7900"] When I managed a "major electronics retail store" back in the '90's, I had a young man come in asking whether a car alarm we sold would work on his Suzuki. (Can't recall the name of the model, but it was similar to a Jeep.) That particular car alarm had sensors that would attach to the door and the door frame and go off when they were separated by opening the door. He wanted to buy a really expensive stereo for his Suzuki and wanted to make sure the alarm would protect it. We went out so I could check the clearances between the door and the door frame, and I immediately saw his problem. He had a Suzuki with a soft top. I told him the alarm wouldn't help him, and when he asked me why, I pulled out my pocket knife and stated that something like this was all the thief would need. Just to be honest with the whole deal, I told him I wouldn't even sell him an alarm. So, yeah, this is a problem that has been going on for decades. [/QUOTE]
