Hello ,

Today my dad's car was in the process of being stolen , fortunately enough they only broke the glass and couldn't drive away so they stole whatever in the car and left us with an expensive broken glass needed to be replaced ASAP. Luckily for us what was stolen wasn't anything expensive .

I can't say that we live in the most dangerous place in the country however its unsafe as they tried to steal it a couple of times ago with pretty much the same outcome.

Now down to the question , I want something that can notify us and prevent car theft whether it be an alarm , security cam ,etc . I'm willing to spend in order to prevent the issue from re-occurring again. Furthermore please explain in details your option .

Any Help is appreciated and needed , thanks

P.S : I live in Egypt.

Does your car have a built in alarm?

There is no point installing a camera. Or not you will be having to spend a lot and placing in at every angle to capture each point.

P.S. I don't have a car but do have a bit of knowledge.

Thanks for the help Joe ,

Actually the car doesn't have an alarm built in which is strange for a 2012 Mercedes Benz nevertheless I feel like an alarm wouldn't be much of a safety feature as there are a ton of cars parked in the street and more often than not there isn't a parking place nearby the apartment so we'd have to park it further away .

It might be a good idea as to scare away the thief but I am little bit skeptical about the overall protection of the car.

Is there a utility that shuts down the entire system and alerts the police when the car's being stolen ?

Thanks again Joe.

Hmm. I play tennis and our clubhouse has the system. When you enter the building when the door isn't fully close. It detects some kind of movement and alerts the owner/president of the club, or the police that there is a breakin or some sort.

I am not sure what the system is so I may need to check out. But unsure if they will provide any information on it due to security reasons.

Do you know what is the name of that system and about how much will it cost ?

I am willing to spend a lot in order to prevent this issue from re-occurring , The police here are lazy bums .

Haha like I said I don't know yet and will need to check out. But I am afraid they believe I will do something bad with the club house, so still contemplating if to ask them or not about the system.

If its gonna cause any problems then don't do it , You gave me a good idea and solid feedback about the presence of the system.

You might try and ask then go ahead with your robbery , Then sell the tennis balls and rackets hahaha

Thanks Joe.

I will do try but I don't believe it will cause any conflict. Worth the "shot" (tennis short and shot??) right?

I will try to get back to you. If I don't then I couldn't get any information on it.

Its worth the "shot" that's true :D 

Keep up the awesome work in the other departments of the forum. Usually when I see you answering somebody's question I'm sure they've got good advice from a really helpful guy :) 

Thanks Joe
