Betting that he bought it used, with the alarm already in place, and probably still hasn't read the manual.

0320 Alaska time.... It's going off again. It has been for the last 5-10 minutes.

It's still going off... Cops are called. I hate to be that guy, but for fuck's sake!

It finally got turned off at 0333. Heard the chirp, went to the window and looked out, and saw some dude walking away from it, and away from the house and down the street. Clearly there isn't even anybody there right now. Too bad the cops didn't get there first. They'll probably show up in another few minutes.

Time to slap a note on his windshield that reads: "Fix your alarm or I will. Thanks in advance"

POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON
A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad

If only. The chirp I heard when it stopped sounded more like he keyed a remote.308Mike wrote:Guy might have disconnected (or perhaps cut one) the battery cable and walked away.

Call the cops everytime it so much as makes a peep. You have a legitimate gripe and they will get tired of dealing with it and take the proper actions.

Step 1: Record annoying alarm
Step 2: Early one morning hook vehicle up to a tow truck
Step 3: When alarm goes off, start boom box at full volume to replicate the alarm and cut battery cable
Step 4: Tow vehicle off for drop off in a public parking lot (say in front of a fire hydrant)
Step 5: Asshole owner eventually wanders out to turn off alarm and finds a boombox in place of vehicle
Step 6: Hilarity ensues
