Question:

Why are people so stupid about car alarms?

Car alarms are not that difficult to arm and disarm. You have a key fob and a couple of buttons. Why do people constantly set their car alarms off at all hours of the day or night? And then it takes forever for them to shut them off?Due to stupidity, car alarms are now useless theft deterants. Everyone just assumes the stupid owner set the alarm off. The thief can take his time stealing from or stealing the car while the alarm is blasting and noone bothers to call the cops.What do cops have to say about this?

Answer:

dunno, I live out in the country and don't hear car alarms day and night as a matter of fact when my car alarm goes off I grab a pistol and the dog and head outside. This has happened twice in 4 years and I still have no idea why to Miss Guided: I went to the races in Daytona and after the race many people did this to find their car not sure what the hundreds of car alarms going off at the same time did for anyone I simply noted where I parked when I closed the door and headed to the track. When I start my Harley here at work I set off a car alarm. I simply wait for it to go through it's stuff and rev the engine one more time and set it off again before leaving. god I love doing that Jaime Jerome: my wife's BMW uses the horn as an alarm, not exactly low class , My Deville uses the horn, my GMC truck uses the horn. go get a new car lady get out of that Pinto
You need to grow up.
With newer technologies available to us today -- such as silent alarms that simply disable a car's ignition -- the noisy car alarms should be outlawed. All they do is make noise, and nobody pays attention to them. In fact, nobody has paid attention to them for years -- except to complain (rightfully so) about the noise pollution. If I play a loud guitar in the neighborhood, I'd probably face a fine -- but car alarms that are much more noisy seem to go unpunished. What a weird country, America is. .
Car alarms should be outlawed. It is the boy who cried Wolf! story over and over again. No body pays attention to them. A friend loaned his car to another friend and gave him the duplicate key, not the master. When we started the car, the alarm went off. Nothing we could do would turn it off. We called the owner and he knew that his master key was the only one that would turn it off and he just laughed. We drove the car for 45 minutes with the alarm going full volume. We drove past cops in cars and motorcycles and cops standing on the street. They all IGNORED us! If you want to protect your car get the new technology that turns off the ignition system, not an ancient, useless car alarm that just annoys everybody!
its more common then you think
