“An act of late-night automotive sabotage sparked a team of York University student engineers to create the paranoid car owner’s best friend,”Globetechnology reports.”Their alarm system, as yet unnamed, e-mails you a picture of the criminal who scratches or steals your car. It was designed by Mina Gendi, Tristan Carvelho, Eugene Oulman and Quingyang Kong as a class project after Mr. Gendi’s car was vandalized in a York University parking lot.The team’s alarm uses a pair of tiny cameras that are triggered by sensors that detect motion around a vehicle. Images from the cameras are stored on a hard drive inside the car and sent to the owner’s cellphone”.

Say cheese, car thief
