[QUOTE="jlaine, post: 36204, member: 542392"] I shouldn't be saying anything on this matter as I'd hate for this idea to be used by any passerby reading, but talk has spread about thieves using tazers set at maximum to send a voltage spike through the vehicle to blow out the attached electrical components. A device solely designed to release a pure EMP would be out of the price range of a common thief, and from what I've seen is pretty uneven in saturation, so its likely that any cars nearby would have been damaged at the same time. A voltage surge such as what has been described is completely plausible though. I can't testify to the validity of the content, as I do not spend my time breaking into cars to see if this is feasable. Ways to prevent this with your next alarm is to have a dedicated backup battery for your alarm alone, with an isolater installed along with it- diode protect any output lines for the alarm, and seek professional assistance on any further ideas and solutions to the matter. The input lines into the alarm are going to be the primary concern, I'd say that the usage of a small capacitor to absorb the brief spike in the line may resolve the issue, but I can't attest to it.
