"New" doesn't always mean "Good" where electrical/electronic stuff is concerned. I've seen quite a few rebuilt alternators that are bad right out of the box. Atlanta is sort of like a little piece of "Noo Joisey" transplanted to the deep south! The only place I have ever had to put a hand on my "pocket rocket" was just south of Atlanta at a gas station beside I-75 late one night. A couple of street thugs tried to tag team me while I was pumping gas. Lifting my shirt tail and resting my hand on my holster was all it took to change their minds, however- - - -didn't even have to draw!
