i am wondering how to setup a anti theft system with a arduino uno, a parallex pir senser and a laptop.
dose anyone know a code i can use?
please respond
There doe's the laptop get into tthis?
What kind of anti theft system, and for what? A car, my house, my clothes while I'm on the beach?
Mark
just to protect the laptop.
when the pir sensor detects something it triggers a alarm on the computer
How will the arduino/pir communicate with the laptop? Simple 433 MHz Tx/Rx hardware? Or a wired connection, powered via USB?
PIR needs to have uncovered sensor. Perhaps use an accelerometer instead?
it comunicates via usb

No, it's pretty unlikely that anyone has implemented exactly what you want - you'd need to write your code for yourself.
Who'd want to steal a commuter?
Well, I could see stealing a Trekkie commuter (see pic in reply #2).
Have you considered accelerometer instead?
Wait for commuter train to start moving, press a button on arduino to have it baseline to the motion, any change from that and arduino can send an alarm message via USB to the PC. Or have it drive a piezo in case the PC is sleeping. Or start flashing some ultrabright LEDs, sure to catch someone's attention.
