My neighbors parked one of their cars under my livingroom window, they were out of town and the alarm went off and wouldn't stop. It was driving me insane, I did call the cops to do something to shut it up! I wanted to "kill" that damn car!

This is sort of off topic but I read once to keep the remote to your car inside your house close at hand, then if you had prowlers you could sound the alarm from inside the house and either the cops would come (now I doubt that theory hehe) or you would scare the bejeesus out of the prowler.
Another thing, a lady at a local shopping center saved herself and her child by using the remote while a guy was trying to shove her inside her car for a hijacking. True story.
No, I dont hear that many car alarms here in the sticks. :-)

I haven't but I do investigate. I live in apartments and it is easy for me to "take the garbage out" and snoop around. Never saw a problem. We have some very loud pickups and one motorcycle that set alarms off all the time. Of course, if I did meet up with car thieves, I'm sure I'd faint.

When I live in California,
I never even look,
but here in New Mexico I would.
I can not think the last time I heard an alarm go off here if I ever heard one here.

No, it happens too much by accident. I wonder - do you think the police would come if you told them a car alarm was going off?

Ha Ha that's a funny question. We live in the boonies and our alarm was going off in the middle of the night. We didn't know what was happening. My husband a diabetic got up to pee, put on his slippers and the car keys were in his slippers. Have no idea who they got there but he never felt them. It is still a mystery.

No, but I did call them when I saw a dog locked in a closed black car in the sun in a carpark in the middle of a hot summer.
You've never seen the police respond so quickly , they were there in a flash! I thought that was really decent.

No, not before I 'investigate / look' but so far, nada . IF there were any suspicious activity, yes, first I would call the law while taking the steps to protect my loved ones, THEN, I would arm myself, along with the wife. After that?? WELL, I am an ol' vet, south Texan, country boy, and real hard headed about certain subjects !!!

Ha ha ha ha ha har de har har har, it is obvious that you are not English, the police dont even turn up for a major crime, rape, robbery, arson etc. However, if you commit a major traffic offence, i.e. parking more that 18" from the roadside then you will have more police on you than you could shake a stick at.

No. I look but it always seems to be something the owner was doing wrong because it goes off real quick. I might if it kept going but with all the buzzing and honking and stuff that cars do now when locking it and all.....it's become background noise you ignore.
