Answers:
Nah no-one gives a ****, pointless having one, unless you get one that makes a diff noise to everyone else..like.HELP SOME ****** IS PINCHING MY CAR.
i dont hahaha.
Not if you shoot the bastard trying to break in.
Depends..if its 4 in the morning then yes i would have a look.
no one ever pays attention to them ever.
if it is in a high crime area, i bet they do.
COMPLETE waste of time. How many people hear them, & think they are faulty, or somebody has gone past them, & started the alarm off. I've driven past a car before now, & started the alarm off! Anybody come out? NAH. During the dark hours may be different though
Stick a potato up the exhaust that sometimes helps.
I only pay attention if there is a chance of catching a little shite trying to pinch the car and smashing his fingers to pieces with a hammer. if its just the wind, then no, just turn the tv up louder.
They used to be set off by high winds, vibration etc thats why they were ignored. The modern ones are better, if mine goes off [it never has] I will know something is afoot.
waste of time no one ever bothers the same as house alarms
no i dont think anyone does actually pay attention i know i don't but then again i dont drive if i did i'd proberly check just to make sure it wasn't my car.
Nope i pay no attention. If someone wants to pinch my car I figure they will do it anyway. Good luck them. If they can get it to work it will be a win win sitch as far as I am concerned.
waste of time now i think!
if it's bothering can you knock on doors,failing that write a polite note and tuck it under their wipers.
I can hear it from here!!!! god it's so loud , I say waste of time
Haha. Its true, car alarms go off all the time and no one pays any attention to them!
Well, its better than having the house across the street with its alarm going off for THREE days. No one lived there yet and they didnt have the alarm monitered so NOBODY could do anything about it, not even the police. We were about to break in and cut the wire but I found the owners info through the clerk of courts. Then it happened about three more times! At least I had the info from that point on.
na i would prefer to use the south african aproach to car security silent but violent flame throwers out the side of the car , works a treat on car jackers shame it is illegal here on scotland lol
Totally useless cos the a s s oles have em set too damn sensitive so that they go offf if you break wind within 20 yards of the vehicle.
seriously A year or so ago at3;40 4;00 in the morning some neighbours and I manage to break/ disconnect the horn of one that had been going continually for an hour or so - no sign of the owner - probably paralytic!
