Funny you should mention faking car noises, I've always wanted to develop=

an anti-theft device that would imitate the sound of a battery running
down while cranking.  There'd be a switch hidden somewhere under the dash=
 =

that would determine if the key sent power to the actual starter or to a
solenoid that would push the "play" button on a tape player.  The tape =

player would run off of one AAA battery and have a continuous loop of tap=
e
containing one or more grunts of a starter turning over an engine.  As th=
e
AAA battery ran down, the tape would slow down making it sound like the =

battery was running out of juice.  The thief would give up in disgust and=

go steal something more reliable like a Fiat.  Do you think somebody's =

already patented this idea?

or
two and perhaps a puff of smoke. :-)    j.
