Question:

Someone was peeping through my apt. window. Is it a good idea for me to go to a shelter for safety?

Someone was peeping through my apt. window this morning with a flashlight least 4 times this morning. I called the cops twice, they still didn't catch the person. I'm afraid that might happen again tonight. I'm quite poor don't have anything special a person could want. Do you think that could've been a rapist, a burglar, a peeping tom or what? I was so scared that I was crying sweating. I nearly had a heart attack. I'm afraid of this happening again tonight. This was so scary, this was scarier than my Hurricane Katrina experience. I almost thought I was gonna get killed. Do you think this was possibly someone who KNEW me? I hardly know anyone in this town.

Answer:

when an alarm is going off 'by itself' its almost always caused by a loose or misadjusted door switch or trunk switch or hood switch (if it has a hood switch). the alarm senses that someone is trying to break into the car by monitoring the light circuits in the car. If the dome light, trunk light or underhood light (on some cars) comes on when the alarm is armed then the alarm 'thinks' someone has opened a door or the trunk or the hood to break into the car. usually the alarm that goes off by itself is doing so because a vibration, usually from a passing truck or, here in california, from a tremor causes to the door , hood or trunk lid to move a bit and that in turn breaks contact with the light switch and sets the alarm off. have the door switches checked and replaced as necessary. its almost always a door switch. check the truck and hood switches as well, but those are less likely causes. it think you'll find a door switch is loose or a door is not properly adjusted. hope that helps
