Someone tried to STEAL my bike!

[Meighan]

So I park on the street out front of my downtown apartment, and since I had a bike stolen from here exactly a year ago, I decided to get an alarm on my gs500.

I just had it installed a couple weeks ago, and tonight I saw it work!

The alarm works in a couple ways, when the bike alarm is tripped, it pages me and tells me someone is messing with the bike, waits 5 or 10 seconds then sounds the alarm. (this is so that if it's just me forgetting to disarm the alarm, I have time to turn it off before it starts blaring).

So, I'm sitting here in my apartment and it pages me, I look out my window and there's some guy sitting on my bike messing with the handle bars trying to get it out of the lock position! 2 seconds later it starts blaring and the guy jumps off. There's another guy with him and they start making angry gestures at each other. I took my camera and started taking pictures from my window, they look up at the flash and run off down the street!!!

Haha I scared them good! The pictures didn't turn out because it's dark out (1:30am), I'm way up in my apartment and the flash didn't reach all the way to the ground. Succeeded in scaring them though!

I looooooooooove my alarm!!!!!!!  :lol:

Thats cool, is your alarm a Scorpion?  I was thinking of getting one of those, sounds like it works good

Nope, it's the SecuriPage 200 from 3rd Watch Alarms - Great alarm!

Looks good.  I put a Viper Responder on my wife's car.  They were the originator's of the pager style alarm and this thing is great.  I opted for the proximity module, so it goes off if you even stand near the car for a few seconds.  It also added remote start, and keyless entry.  I was going to go Scorpion with me new TL but now I'll check out 3rd Watch.

that is a very cool feature on a remote. now your gs can page you if it gets lonely or too cold or if it is scared of the dark too. i want to get one for my bike, although nobody would want it. good for you and screw bike thieves. those thieving bastards. :x

[Roadstergal]

That's great!  Can you add a feature to eject the rider with great force at the touch of a button?

[johncam4]

i hate thieves

[slingshot]

You shouldve scared them off with a .38, it works just like a camera, point and click...bastards!

It's funny, I take my GS to New York City all the time and never even put a lock on it.  Never give it a second thought that it will get stolen.  If I get a little concerned I just park it near a BMW.  Better than an alarm.  I figure that if I'm a thief I'll go after the BMW.  
When I lived NYC I always had Peugeot cars.  No one ever messed with them.  If they stole it there was a very limited market for it on the stolen market.

I absolutely detest thieves. Nuff said. Wish you had a garage for the beloved GS. Love it and this forum.

For some reason whenever I go to the 3rd Watch Alarms site I can't get the SecuriPage 200 product info to load, what's the difference between the 100 and the 200 (including price)?

And maybe we should all get antitheft devices like the Magnavolt from Robocop or one of these systems from SD.

which part of town are you in?  east hastings?  joke  :x

Yeah, the website needs help. If you go to the 200 page, and you highlight the area where you think there should be text, there is text there that appears when selected... I keep meaning to look further into it, I think it's a messed up style sheet. I'm friends with the guy who created these alarms, and since I'm in the business of making web sites he asked me to do an audit on the 3rd watch site, and I haven't gotten around to it yet. So yeah, blame me.

Anyway, the difference between the 100 and 200 is added features like proximity detector, further paging distance, and a couple more advanced settings.

Haha not quite!  

I live in Yaletown.

[dgyver]

Now you can have the last laugh at those razzing you about having an alarm.

[Blueknyt]

sounds like it might be time to invest in one of those remote spy cam's and a yard sale VCR with the 8hr loop tape. or an old old PC and large Harddrive.

I tried that and only got a little bit of text that didn't show up before; nothing about the product info though. What's the price difference between the 100 and the 200?

Thanks.

Meighan, you can't live in Yaletown.......you have a cat and everyone down there has a tiny dog which craps in the stream running down the park..........oh, that's  guys who have punt-able dogs. Right.   :mrgreen:
