Harbor Freight sells some cheap ones that have a range of maybe 100 feet. How far away from the house is the car parked?
It's a battery operated motion detector that sounds an alert on a companion device inside the house.
I've used them for hog hunting sometimes when I want to sleep in my truck near a feeder and wish to be awakened if something shows up.

They frequently have coupons that sell them for $10-12.

I was kind of thinking along these lines as well, but since the car is parked on the street I think I’d be falsely alerted a lot. I was thinking of some sort of alarm on the fuel door.

Over the past 3 weeks I believe that my wife’s car has had its gas siphoned. She usually goes about 10 days in between fill ups and now I’m filling up her car twice a week. 3 times over the last 3 weeks I’ve found her fuel door open. This has only happened when she parks in front of the house and when the fuel door is on the street side. We haven’t found the fuel door open any other time and we only find it open in the mornings.

I’d like to put up a couple of motion sensor cameras. One in the neighbors tree across the street and one in my yard.

My question is, what works best? Since it’s at night do they have a flash? That can cause problems.

I need some input.
