The device you need is called a Cell Phone:-))

If you're going to make up a different question to the one I asked and
answer the made-up question instead of mine, then why bother posting
in this thread at all? Also, your answer was not helpful in any way, I
am still looking for an answer which is.


Actually the answer was quite helpful. Cell alarm connections are quite
common for locations where someone is concerned about a cable cut.


Thank You.
I was not thinking about the need to protect an alarm system, but I know
* there is NO way to cut the "wires" from a cell phone.

No; but apparently there are devices that can 'jam' cell phone
signals!
Not sure how they work but apparently they have been used in certain
secure buildings, to prevent cheating in areas where examinations are
taking place, to avoid interruptions during publicly broadcast
meetings etc. Maybe even in places of worship to prevent cell phones
from ringing during services.

One of the 'best' scams of a wired alarm system was when some thieves
introduced a stray cat into a warehouse that had had an alarm system
installed or upgraded.
The cat set off motion detectors. Several time during a long weekend.
After the several false-alarms, the whole alarm system was turned off;
to be 'repaired' the following week.
Whereupon the thieves who had left a trailer backed up against an
outside wall broke through and stole goods from the warehouse!

So while digressing from the OPs question there is in my opinion no
way totally that an alarm sytem could be protected or by-passed. Even
if encased in three feet of reinforced concrete!

And what is meant by 'legally'????

Also and finally to the OP, lighten up! Some of the humour (on this
freely available and no charge for advice forum) may be juvenile; but
does one want to cut off all debate/suggestions.

Have fun with it; many a good suggestion has come from a light hearted
suggestion or remark.
