Car alarms are like nukes, they only work if everyone has them.
nukes work great when 1 entity has them and pretty good a completely different way when 2 distinct sides have them but when everyone has them

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

if you're black, suicide by cop is a pretty darn viable option too

the best thing about car alarms is when they start to wear down the battery and they start sounding slower and slower and then finally do a half honk every other minute and then the entire car battery is dead and the owner the next day cant start the fuckin thing

How much do I cum? The answer might surprise you!

no one wants to steal your hyundai

i left my VW unlocked for years and once only once someone went in and found out that all my discs were burned copies of motley crue, ac/dc and metallica albums.

fun fact: my key from my VW would open other VW car doors of the same era, but it would not start them.

When I lived in a black ghetto for a while I left my jeep unlocked because it had a soft top that people could cut their way into. I'd rather they just open the door.

Only problem I had was bums reclining the seat to take naps and stealing change from my cupholder.

Here people have alarms on their lovely electric scooters. Super annoying since these are the most sensitive alarms, and also completely useless. Oh no, somebody might want to steal my "HOUDA" electric scooter which is being kept together by duct tape.

*truck drives past*
*50 scooters go AIUUUUUAIUUUUAIUUUU"

I accidentally set off the car alarm in my neighbors 1970 GTO By leaning into the window to grab my phone on the seat. i almost had a heart attack because who the gently caress would think a car that old would have one

I don't lock my car, at this point it's worth more if someone steals it AND impetus to finally purchase a new one.

Anyhow, I don't want to know the last time anyone have a gently caress about car alarms but what about the first time? They must've come around in my lifetime and I don't remember any point where society was like "oh dear a car is being accessed illegally someone contact the local constabulary post haste."

I had my car alarm modded so that it sounds like an hysterically crying baby (only amplified several hundred times). I also upped the sensitivity of the vibration sensor so even the tiniest jostle will set it off and it doesn't stop until I turn it off personally.

Car alarms are supposed to be more of like a HEY LOOK AT THIS FUCKIN CAR EVERYBODY like when a waitress drops a tray full of poo poo at a restaurant and everyone turns around and she's all ashamed and wants to kill herself

it's about drawing attention not so you can somersault out a window and dispense justice with your katana

my car alarm has a fuel pump shut-off so when everyone ignores the alarm you still cant drive teh car. i figured out something cheaper, though: sell the car and buy a car with a manual transmission.

Reporting for shovel mission Sir.
Cool car alarm story: I lived next to Fenway Park and was walking out my door when I saw 3 F-15's or whatever flying directly at me at a very low altitude - I assume they did a flyover of the park - and then they went straight up and you could see the cherry coal of their engines and then a boom came down and every single car on the street with an alarm went off. It was crazy.
