That's a high quality avatar right there.
Car alarms are loving useless unless the car is parked right next to wear you live. When was the last time anybody heard a car alarm go off in the middle of some parking lot or outside a Denny's and actually went out to investigate on the off chance it was their car?

I have a car alarm and live in a state where I can kill you dead for no other reason than you are breaking into it. Luckily I also have a gun which I keep loaded and near me at all times.

It's true and I'm tired of pretending it isn't
Keep your key fob by your bed. If you hear a suspicious noise at night, you can hit the alarm button and then your car alarm will go off. Your neighbors will be so enraged they will invade your home and kill the perpetrator instead of you.

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.
it wont actually save your car from theft but gets you a deece cut off of theft insurance. Worth it.

Agree with OP, car alarm going off for days because some dude in a civic with a fart can passed by is obnoxious as gently caress

guns make suicide easy, without them you have to be able to tie a knot or steal the right drugs from your grandma or drive to a tall enough bridge and idiots just can't get that poo poo right

It's a deterrent, as in it is trying to stop theft before they ever break the window or jimmy the door. They want thieves to know which cars have alarms, blinking lights, little stickers, etc..

which is why installing a blinking red light in your car or putting a sticker on your house window is just as good and cheaper imo
