Car alarms seems to be nothing but a nuisance these days. Lots of cars with alarms so sensitive that they go off when a fly lands. These cars are parked where the owner can't see their cars anyway. One night, a car was parked outside our co-op apartment building that had an alarm that kept going and going. It never stopped. We kept calling the police until the vehicle was finally towed at 0300 in the morning! I wonder if there's a device that can either disable car alarms or short out a car's electrical system.
 
Cougar, I really wish I could do that, but I wouldn't stop with just one bullet! :D
 
Might be a little messy, but it will take care of that annoying little alarm. :D ;) :D

He, he....
 
Afterwards, leave a big sign in the wreakage:

OK, who's next?!:D :D :D

But seriously, folks. Who takes car alarms seriously these days? Some of 'em go off when a breeze blows by.
 
My wife (girlfriend at the time) had a car in a parking structure across from her apartment that kept going off all the time at odd hours during the night. We think it was so sensitive that when another car drove by and the parking deck vibrated, it triggered.

The car was towed several times due to numerous complaints from a number of people in the neighborhood.

This didn't stop the bottom feeder from interrupting our sleep.

Then one night that the car was being towed away again, some of the neighbors noticed that the car was strafed up and down with a paintball gun. There were multicolor splotches of paint on both sides of the car and the windshield.

Not that I knew anything about it... :rolleyes:

The car's owner was a stubborn bastid.

A few more weeks of the same old crap, and the car was found with the tires slashed, windows busted out, and dents on the hood and both sides of the car.

We had our suspicions about this one, as a couple of the neighbors were a bit, er, "vocal" in their displeasure of the constant interruption, but nothing could ever have been easily proven.

We didn't see the dillhole's car at all after that.
 
What about;

This is your car with a protective anti-theft alarm that is doing its' job.....BOOM!!!!...this is your car after you failed to shut off that DAMN alarm.

ANY QUESTIONS???
 
I have looked at my neighbors' car a couple of times at 2-3 AM with my .50 AE Desert Eagle in my hand while the damn alarm was "going off" for no apparent reason, but then I came back to reality BEFORE I have squeezed-off a couple rounds into his "alarm system".:eek:.

...Very tempting, 'tho to see how far a couple 375 grain JHPs would go to solve that noise "problem"...:D.
 
New York City is a classic location for oversensitive alarms -- and neighborhood kids who know just how to set them off!

One car annoyed the neighbors one night too many, and the owner came out in the morning to find the windshield and hood caked in broken eggs, and a note under the wiper explaining that this would continue as long as the alarm kept going off all night.

End of problem.
 
To HE[insert double hockey sticks here] with gadgets! I now have some good ideas from all your posts here. :D I did more research on the web and found a site suggesting placing slices of bologna and/or salami on the "mark's" car. In this summer heat, the meat juices cook into the vehicle's paint job and won't come off. Time to call Maaco! :D
 
Get some of that glass etching chemical they use for security marking the windows, and write "FIX YOUR SODDIN ALARM!" across their windscreen.
 
Good idea, Zardoz. Hmmmm. I may start with a grease pencil first then escalate to etching if the perp doesn't comply.
 
Every time I hear one, I hope it is actually being stolen.

Would love to hear more about how to get even with these a-holes. Pretty good ones so far.
 
Any Orchard Supply or Home Depot will have an item called "Stripeeze", which will do wonders for the paint on any car with an obnoxious alarm!!!:D
