Research into Tool Box Alarm Systems
Hi all,
I'm currently undertaking a university design assignment and require some research into peoples opinions on some aspects of tool box alarm systems. It would be greatly appreciated if you could follow the link and answer some short questions. The alarm system will have a gsm module that notifies people upon breaking in via SMS. It is also a fully diy installation to protect all your tools boxes. Can be used for sheds or anything that can be opened. If you any questions about the design do not hesitate to ask.

If your going to all the trouble of alerting via sms - gather some evidence and send that too. digital photo would be the go.

While I have dozens of tool boxes all of my good tools are in cupboards or drawers where I can get at them easily. What tends to end up in most of my tool boxes are old plumbing or small engine parts, or stuff like old electrical GPOs and light fittings, bits of rubber and cork etc. I cannot imagine anyone wanting to steal these - in some cases they might even be doing me a favour. I do have a 1.6 m long lockable box that I store chainsaw bars in but if that's full it's a 2 person job to move.

Interesting puzzle project. I did the survey.
Any tool box small enough to run away with needs a RF beacon,
like a body locator (Pieps) in an avalanche.
Digital photogaphy is cheap. 5 minutes to make a detailed photographic record
of the 'goodies.'
Plan B: ground sensor: pick up the armed box and some red LED starts flashing on the lid.
Thief doesn't know how much more complex the alarm system is. Potential deterrent.
Keeps blinking if set back down. Reset is inside. Think I will have some made.
Plan C: Annoyed by repeated overnight tool thefts from a job site?
Add 2 sticks of dynamite to your tool box. Effective. Also effective
for "time in the shade". Court considered it 'over-kill.'
