Default how do thieves bypass car alarms?

how can they bypass car alarms without setting off the alarm--or do they actually set off the alarm, then turn it off once they're inside the vehicle? i'm getting a 2-way pager, but i know thieves can bypass them if they really want from other stories i've heard. i'd figure they would be unbeatable if your 2-way pager is in range, because when they open your door, your alarm would page you to tell you that your car door was open. but if that's the case, then how do they still get away with people's cars?

I don't know how the two way pager option works on aftermarket alarms so I can't help there.



But most aftermarket alarm systems are clearly labeled as to what each wire does. First time I went under my dash I was able to bypass the ignition and start the car in under 5 min. OEM alarms aren't usually labeled and have a better ability to deter the car being stolen.



The best systems in my opinion are ones no one would think of and are one offs. A hidden switch the disables the fuel pump or the like. That way if somebody is in the car it would never move and they would have to spend a large amount of time to determine the problem.

to beat any alarm you smash the headlight/tailight and put a stun gun right to the socket to put thousands of volts into the system and fry everything.
