| So I have a new neighbor that has a ghettotastic P.O.S. Infinity that the alarm is randomly going off. I guess he works nights due to the fact that it's only here during the day. This morning when I went to lay my son down for his morning nap, it went off and woke him up. I went over and had a chat with him about it. How long would be a reasonable time to allow him to fix the problem before I file a noise complaint? |
| Car audio / alarm places are extremely busy this time of year since many people gave / received car related electronics that need professional installation. However, adjusting alarm sensativity should be an easy adjustment for any qualified shop. I'd give him a week or so. Is he the head of household or a child of? |

Cars alarms should be illegal. Stupid fucking things used to go off all night at the apartment complex I lived in. Never a break in mind you. Just wind or some other BS setting the stupid things off. I wonder how many thefts have actually been prevented by these stupid things.
If it happens a few more times I'd be quick to file a complaint. |

No one even pays attention to them anymore. We have become so accustomed to them going off for no reason or some soccer mom setting it off. |
| I figure I will give him a week to fix it. I told him that pulling the fuse would be acceptable. Our city has an ordinance against sounding a horn or signaling device except for an emergency, an specifically calls out unusual volume or duration with no hours where it's allowed. This morning between 9 and 10 am it sounded three different times. |
Drove through a Porsche dealership a long time ago in my fun car just to browse and ended up setting more than 5 cars off. 
Remind me how these alarms are useful again... Had a neighbors car alarm go off every time someone closed their car door near it. Useless piece of shit. |

I had to fight a "junk car" ticket two years ago due to my Triumph Spitfire being over 20 years old, and since it was a recreational car, it would sit in my driveway from Nov to Mar. The ticketing officer assumed the car didn't run. The ticket was quickly dismissed when I drove to muni court in the same car and parked it in full view of everyone in the courtroom outside the window. I got a personal apology from the police chief over that one. |
