Anti-Theft Device Lets You Stop Car, Taunt Thief

[LS_Dragons]

News tidbit from the Mike's List newsetter. I will just quote directly (this is pretty cool):

A new anti-theft car security system from Italy calls your cell phone when your car is stolen, and tells you its location and speed, which it determines using onboard GPS. Push a few buttons on your phone, and the car's motor will shut down next time the car stops. Called i-mob, the system also lets you taunt and heckle car thieves from your cell phone through a loudspeaker in the car. i-mob will also call you if the car is hit or towed while parked, or if the car exceeds a speed limit you set (teenage drivers beware...). Prices start at around $1,000 and go up based on the options you choose. The system is sold in Europe, and will likely become available in the United States next year.

so you can make them even more mad by taunting them, stopping the car will annoy them as it is, but you taunting them will make them torch the car, and the $1000 system for sure

So the the insurance co. can replace both.
