A car alarm keeps going off outside my house....what should I do?

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

What is the answer to this dilemma?The car is only a G reg fiesta,and no-one seems remotely interested in coming out to turn it off.There are just the occasional shouts of annoyance from other householders,but no-one is doing anything about it.From my years as a grease monkey,I can have a fiesta bonnet open in seconds,and could then forcibly remove said alarm,but is this morally correct?It's half eleven at night,it's still very humid and difficult to get to sleep as it is.Should I do the neighbourhood a favour and get busy with the wire cutters?Or should I just shut the window and try and ignore the dull wailing from outside?I'm not bothered about the legal issues,just what would you do faced with the same problem?

Disconnect that fucker. Not fooling around. Seriously, do it.

Kill it with guns.

I don't have a gun.But I do have the potato bazooka!

― Eugene Speed (Eugene Speed), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 21:38 (twenty-three years ago)

Disconnect it. Your neighbours will thank you. (wear gloves, and don't leave finger prints!)

― C J (C J), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 21:40 (twenty-three years ago)

Right,then.It seems that the general opinion is to do away with the offending noise maker.I have wire cutters and a torch,this should take all of a couple of minutes....be right back!!!

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 21:53 (twenty-three years ago)

How feckin funny was that?!I have 'removed' the alarm,and it's still going off!!!I've stuck it in the kitchen sink,full of water,and it's still doing it's thing!Surely it has to stop soon?!?!I've had to shut all my windows and I'm keeping an eye out on the street for the car owner to appear,but nobody has shown up as yet.Bloody mental!

― Eugene Speed (Eugene Speed), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 21:59 (twenty-three years ago)

an alarm on a fiesta? maybe the trunk is filled with kilos of the finest blow.

― kephm, Wednesday, 16 July 2003 22:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Can't you wrap it up in old blankets to muffle the sound, and bury it in your garden?

― C J (C J), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 22:01 (twenty-three years ago)

eugene speed, you are the hero of many.

kudos.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 22:03 (twenty-three years ago)

Wrap it in a blanket to muffle the sound,then bury it in the garden....That is a somewhat worrying statement,I hope I never upset you in the future.....

― Eugene Speed (Eugene Speed), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 22:04 (twenty-three years ago)

Wow, and I worried about vigilanteism when someone I know egged a car with an extra-sensitive alarm.

― j.lu (j.lu), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 22:08 (twenty-three years ago)

Right,now I do have a problem.The alarm is under water,I've stuffed a load of laundry on top of it,and now there is someone at the car!!!Just my friggin luck if I got spotted,never mind eh?They gotta prove it was me!I'll just sit here with the lights off,and ignore the doorbell if it rings!

― Eugene Speed (Eugene Speed), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 22:13 (twenty-three years ago)

um-use your potatoe bazooka to pelt the fiesta?!?!

i dont buy any of this by the way*

― kephm, Wednesday, 16 July 2003 22:14 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah,well you tell that to the f**kin alarm in my sink,then!

― Eugene Speed (Eugene Speed), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 22:17 (twenty-three years ago)

This is killer.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 22:23 (twenty-three years ago)

Maybe that wasn't an alarm, but rather a FLUX CAPACITOR!

― Leee (Leee), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 22:26 (twenty-three years ago)

ex-greasemonkeys lost with neighbors car alarms in the sink C/D?

― kephm, Wednesday, 16 July 2003 22:30 (twenty-three years ago)

Okay,alarm has finally given in to the water,at least I hope that it has.It's not making any more noise,unless it is resetting itself.The bloke at the car has gone,but I don't know if he was the owner or just another angry neighbour.Could be both,come to think of it!I'm going to sit up a bit longer,just in case the feds arrive.Doubtful,but possible.What a nitemare.Why didn't it just stop after the first time,I would assume that an alarm buff enough to survive submerged for a few minutes should be able to tell if it is going off for no reason.It's a Scorpion alarm,and doesn't look like one of those crappy Halfords jobs.Hopefully it's dead now,maybe it would be REALLY funny to go and put it back on the car in a few hours?!

― Eugene Speed (Eugene Speed), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 22:31 (twenty-three years ago)

"This alarm has clearly been drowned -- but there's not a lake in sight!"

It'd be like an episode of Monk, for robots.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 22:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh I see,you all egg me on to go kill the alarm,then give me a hard time once I've done it!Where's the moral support,you yellow-bellied varmints!

― Eugene Speed (Eugene Speed), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 22:37 (twenty-three years ago)

Go Eugene! Kill the alarm!

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 22:40 (twenty-three years ago)

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 22:41 (twenty-three years ago)

Can you imagine the phone call....

"Hello,police?I'd like to report a theft from my car."

"A theft,sir.If I could just take a few details.What is it that has been stolen?"

"Erm...my car alarm."

"Are you trying to be funny,sir?Wasting police time is an offence,you know."

"No,seriously.Someone has stolen the alarm from my car.It's been going off all night,and when it stopped,I came out to have a look,and it was gone!"

"What,the car or the alarm?"

"Just the alarm.The car is still there."

"Have you been drinking this evening,sir?"

I reckon you can come up with the rest yourself.....

Right,it's now 8.20am and here's the latest.The alarm unit is now several streets away,in someone's dustbin.The fiesta has gone,which is a shame as I missed getting a look at it's owner,and shouting abuse at him/her.I'm going to have fun this evening waiting for them to get back,going to hide behind my blinds making car alarm noises when I see them!

― Eugene Speed (Eugene Speed), Thursday, 17 July 2003 06:48 (twenty-three years ago)

You disposed of the evidence in someone else's dustbin in broad daylight?

― C J (C J), Thursday, 17 July 2003 07:12 (twenty-three years ago)

No,I done the old 'five in the morning going for a jog' routine,with my bottle of water in one hand and the alarm unit in the other.When I stopped to chuck my water bottle in a bin...oops,looks like the alarm went in as well!Shame.

― Eugene Speed (Eugene Speed), Thursday, 17 July 2003 07:50 (twenty-three years ago)

The fiesta is back!I bought a roll of pallet-wrap today,it's like heavy duty cling film,and I'm going to wrap me a fiesta!I am going to get so arrested(possibly)or beaten up(more likely)but it's a laugh and the last time I tried this,my mate took over twenty minutes with a stanley knife to get it all off his VW Beetle!

― jewelly (jewelly), Thursday, 17 July 2003 21:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Pictures,now there's a thought!I have one of those camera phones,but I'm not sure A)if it works in low light or B)how to then get said picture onto this thread.But I'll give it a go,and see what happens.This pallet wrap stuff is also very handy for catching unsuspecting persons in telephone boxes.Two people run at phone box,one with the loose end of the pallet wrap,the other with the roll.Just pull a foot or so of the stuff through the handle,as the other person starts to run around the phone box with the roll,keep wrapping until you are satisfied that your job is done!BUT,if you are the peson who has to attach the loose end to the handle,remember to duck low IMMEDIATELY or you risk getting caught up in the oncoming plastic wrap,thus ruining the whole thing.However,cling wrapping someone to a tree or lampost is equally amusing.Nuff said!I'm going out at three to do the fiesta!

And I'll only go to jail(gaol)if I get caught.There is no evidence,I used the WHOLE ROLL on his rustbucket fiesta,so no tell-tale half rolls of pallet wrap here,mate!

i don't think wrapping the car is quite at the criminal damage level so it's unlikely to result in porridge.

Back again!I had a great day at work today,the image of that miserable w*nker trying to get the pallet wrap off his car has stayed with me all day!I told my Dad,who laughed like a drain for a good few minutes!There is now a big pile of used pallet wrap at the side of the road,just imagine how annoying it would be for fiesta man to have an enviromental health officer come knocking on his door following a complaint from a member of the public(cough!cough!)about the dumping of 100 metres of clingy plastic wrap in the street.Oh the joy....

― Eugene Speed (Eugene Speed), Friday, 18 July 2003 17:07 (twenty-three years ago)

Really? I don't own a car, so I'm ignorant, but I thought car alarms were something whose sensitivity owners had no control over. And maybe he was out of town when it went off?

― amateurist (amateurist), Friday, 18 July 2003 17:08 (twenty-three years ago)

next time throw a piece of baloney on the side and pee on it. when he goes to rip the baloney off the door it takes the paint off. Or put some dog shit under the door handle. or drop a deuce on his hood.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 18 July 2003 17:10 (twenty-three years ago)

Dog shit under the handle was considered,but I have an extra-special present for him.As I can get the bonnet(hood?) open from under the front of the car,I am off to Tescos to purchase some fresh haddock,which I will place in the airbox in the engine bay.As soon as that sucker opens the vents in the car(and the way tis hot weather is going,that's gonna be straight away),instant parfum de stinkyfish!

As for alarm sensitivity,the general rule is if the f*cking thing has been going off for a couple of hours,you can generally assume you need to take it in to a specialist and have it looked at,or turn the thing off!Or is that too simple a solution?!

Couldn't wait for tomorrow's caper,so me and a mate have tied two dozen empty cans of various sizes to the back of the car.We've tucked them well underneath,and they can't be seen from the pavement,but they should make for a good racket when he next goes out in it.And my mate was up for the dogshit thing,but finding dogshit in the dark was just too hazardous for us!

Eugene is starting to remind me of Christian Slater's character in Heathers. At first, it seems like harmless fun; then, the bodies start piling up. Dude, your vigilantism was okay back when it was just directed at the car alarm issue, and we've all been there. You taught him a lesson. Now move on, and let him move on too.

I just find it kind of hard to believe that an Ilxor would know how to disable and remove a car alarm.

Oh yeah, this is some bullshit. But entertaining!

seven months pass...

Back again! Seems like only yesterday we were having fun with this, how time flies. For anyone who actually cares, the Fiesta that started all this eventually 'disappeared' from my street. Nowt to do with me, honestly. ;)

Anyone for pallet wrap?

hey there um can you blow up my neighbors car, she keeps yelling "C'MON JAKE" at her dog and I figure that will send her the message to shut up.

I rented a car FOR A FUNERAL and the alarm went off at the funeral dinner, so embarrassing and inappropriate because it was an unfamiliar car, it was at a FUNERAL, and it took me a good three minutes to figure out how to shut it off! Be sure when you rent a car you know where all the controls are!

On the bright side, if you live in a crowded urban area or are walking in a dark parking lot, it will surely scare any criminals away.

two years pass...

I'd almost forgotten about this marvelous episode! A decade later and pallet wrap still comes out now and again for deserving causes. ;)
