    Depends mainly on make and model and alarm. The alarm on my Vectra B went off if I didn't disarm it first.
    Teeth? LUXURY! When I was a child we ate by putting rocks in our mouth and jumping up and down.

    As Dave said, some do have a back up to stop people being able to disconnect the battery to help steal the car. I found this when i was at the bodyshop... I was very very loud.

    You had to turn the alarm off with a key on the box, was hidden under a bung.

    Some have current detection if the battery is removed, as it drops the internal battery in the alarm (if it has one) will trigger.

    Simple answer, is it a Corsa b? If they i don't think they have them as std. If its a Clifford no it wont as long as its disalarmed.
