Really, can I go cut my neighbor's battery cables

[KitchenWitch]

His damned car alarm is going off AGAIN. Third time since 9:30 this morning - it is now 10:10.

1. Actually, that's justifiable homicide.

Go to town! :thumbsup:

[KitchenWitch]

2. I am thinking my mode of murder needs to be equally as annoying

to him as his damned car has been to me.

Seriously.

The damned alarm goes off at least six times a day. And one night last week, when I needed to have the window open (the bedroom is in the front of the house), it started going off every half hour at 3 AM!

:banghead:

3. Call the police.

That's against the law. Noise pollution. :grr:

23. You'd be Ted Bundy in my neighborhood.

:rofl:

4. What I can never figure out is why it seems that everyone BUT the

car owner can hear the #@%$^%&$ alarm when it goes off. :grr:

[KitchenWitch]

5. No shit!

[Phillycat]

6. Right? Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of the alarm?

Not to mention, if it goes off 6 times a day, nobody is going to take it seriously if someone is ACTUALLY trying to break into the car. So it's already useless.

7. Print off a copy

of your city's noise ordinance. Tape it to his door with a note saying that if he can't turn off his freakin' car alarm the FIRST TIME it goes off, you'll be calling the cops.

8. Good plan

Thanks!

9. I did that with a neighbor who

would sit in the alley between our houses with his ridiculous custom motorcycle and rev it continuously...randomly between the hours of midnight and 6 am.

It worked. I haven't even SEEN the motorcycle since I did that.

13. I like that idea, but maybe glue it on there

wear gloves though.

[KitchenWitch]

19. MMM Superglue!

:D

[Gormy Cuss]

10. You can. You may not.

:P

[KitchenWitch]

24. ...

:grr:

[Parche]

11. hey

Try listening to a fukwad that parks outside every single fuking day, and it goes off everytime
a big truck or bus drives by....annoying

I feel your pain!!!
:hi: :hug:

12. It always seemed to me that a car thief would want to

go after the one with the loudest alarm. That way there is the least chance that he/she would be noticed.

15. Sorry about that

Haruka's car is really sensitive. Once, it went off during meditation at our aikido dojo.

[KitchenWitch]

17. OUCH

Nothing like completely wrecking a good meditation session.

18. Leave it to her

It is a ridiculously sensitive alarm. She can't lock her car, if the dog is in the car, because the second he moves, the alarm goes off. Fortunately, he's what they call a "hard" dog and was not really bothered by it.

He's protective enough that the car doesn't need to be locked, if he's in it. Especially if the car thief has a small child as an accomplish. He hates small children.

16. UPDATE:

apparently I am not the only one completely unamused by my neighbor's car alarm.

At about 11 this morning, I had to leave the house, and as I was pulling out, I noticed a police car parked right in front of the offensive automobile. Apparently he rang the neighbor's doorbell (not sure if said neighbor answered the door). When the cop came back to his car, he walked entirely around the car, I think he was trying to see what may have been setting the alarm off.

20. what's he/she doing home at 9AM don't they have a job? n/t

[SeattleGirl]

21. Some folks do work from home.....

...just sayin', though that is no excuse for ignoring the car alarm.

[KitchenWitch]

22. Does it really matter?

I was mildly annoyed with it today. I was absolutely enraged with the alarm going off at 3AM.
