You couldn't handle a "30 ft" anaconda.
Plus it would pee in your car,and STINK it up.

I had an alarm in my 94 Integra,and Jun 29,at 3:40AM,it went off,I
immediately looked out my window,and they were already rolling my car
away.I jumped into my shorts,grabbed my gun bag and ran out,and the car was
already out the gate and well down the road,alarm blaring.(a gated
community!) All this in less than a minute.

It had a starter disable,that's why they pushstarted it.
I had a fuel cutoff relay I was going to install with a hidden magnetic
switch,but didn't have a chance to do it. The car was 'recovered' 3 days
later,two counties way,stripped and burned,a total loss.

Hondas are really easy to steal,up until they began using immobilizer keys
and coding the ECU to the keys.

you need to immobilize the car so they can't drive it off;meaning a fuel
cutoff or removal of a critical part like the ECU,and the alarm is just to
tell you they have gotten INTO the car and may be removing your stereo,air
bags,seats,or other parts. Then you need a GUN to safely 'detain' them
until police arrive,which can be a long wait.In some states it's legal to
shoot the thieves,especially if they move towards you.

A friend and fellow writer I once knew had a reticulated python that
was bigger than she was. One time I dropped by her house to drop off a
document we were working on and the python met me at the door. At
least its head did. Its tail was in the dining room. I have no idea
how long it was, but I often wondered how my fellow writer handled the
snake.

Our family had Dobermans for years and they are easily bribed by food
(as is just about any dawg). In fact, the last one (I swear) would
point to the loot...

Here in Florida,dumb people get pythons,and when they get too big,they
release them outdoors,peoples pets begin disappearing,and they grow even
bigger,and then animal control or the police end up having to capture
them;they get bit,nearly strangled,and it takes at least 3 people to
wrangle one of them. Even their owners get bit or hurt when
handling them. Reptiles do NOT make good pets.

But most people don't know that, or won't take a chance.

I have a Boxer. He sounds real tough when someone knocks on the door,
and goes nuts when they ring the doorbell. But let someone in, and
it's, "Give me a biscuit, and I'll show you the safe."

That said, those who don't know him are very intimidated on the other
side of the door. Power perceived is power achieved.
