Where do you live in Alexandria? If you havent had problems with break ins in your apartment garage I wouldnt worry about the alarm.


Check out DCEvoClub.com if you havent yet for local Evo's.

Alarm is a must wherever you live. Alarm was the first thing on my mind when I got my EVO in which I had one installed the very next day.

After my first evo got stolen from my job, An alarm with a pager and proximity sensors was my first mod and well worth it IMO.

FWIW.. .I keep my car iin the garage and always have. The problem is that I work in an industrial area where i think my car was scoped for a few days before they made the move. To the OP: Just do yourself a favor and invest the money into an alarm. I Myself am paranoid about someone vandalizing my Evo (alot) which is why i had the proximity sensors added to the alarm system.

id say at the very least stick a flashing LED on the dash or something to make it look like you have one....

does the parking have camera's?....even if they do they wont take responsability for your car so yeah get a good alarm
