Title: alarm for trolleys
Post by: jouk45 on April 26, 2006, 12:16:07 am

i think this is a realy good idea, fitting a motorbike alarm system to the trolleys to stop anyone stealing or damaging the trolley. think how much it cost you even at diy prices your talking about £500.
heres what i have ordered, just for peace of mind. £7 well worth the trouble.
why? they are not fitted as standard on professional systems amazes me.

Hi Joe

Stick 240v through it, at least the thief will still be there in the morning and if he's still alive you can give him a good kicking lol

Hi Joe
I did ask my insurance company about it, and they came out with all sorts of rules and regulations, ie must be in locked vehicle, must not be left unattended, and joe this will please you, it must have a security device fitted, may as well wrap it it razor wire. attach an inverter to the battery and stick 240v through it.
