As pathetic as it sounds, I believe if a potential
thief was harmed in any way by such a device that he
could sue the owner of the automobile and possibly
win. When my Jetta was stolen, I looked into many
anti-theft devices, including one that would basically
render the thief deaf from an inside sound blast if he
(or she) tried to start the car without the key. I
seem to recall seeing disclaimers on the guy's website
claiming you should "check your local municipality's
regulations" on this because it was potentially
illegal.

I gather it's the same kind of thinking that if a
thief enters your home, and you shoot him or wound him
in some way, he can sue you.

For all I know, these are both urban legends, but I
think we all know how crafty defense attourneys can
be. :)
