To the berk who left their car alarm going all night in East Street car park. Dark coloured estate - Passat maybe? I bet you didn't lock it up properly, did you? I had to be restrained from going out and 'manually' adjusting the alarm by Mrs D&O. You might not need sleep but I quite like a bit now and again. Sort it out, ta.

And me too.Thanks for explaining where the bl**dy thing was. At least the drunks we now get in the early hours of the morning eventually shut up and go away. If you are one of the relics who still cling onto the late 80's and have an alarm, get rid of the damned thing. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Errrrr, most cars have them fitted as standard. Drunks & alarms are all part of 'urban living'. Get over it or move. Easy really.

Well, thats strange. I don't know anyone who uses one. My car is new, and doesn't have one. And its quite fancy. An alarm that goes off after a bit is tolerable occassionally, especially during the day. We are talking all night, still going in the morning. You tell me what the point of that is! I think we are entitled to a little moan.

AFAIK many modern cars are fitted with alarms as standard (mine is). I think you (or Mrs D&O) showed great restraint. I'd have called the police I think (not knowing how to disable a car alarm for a vehicle for which i don't have the keys).
Petrol Head. Tell me where you live and I'll arrange for a car to be left outside your house with the alarm going all night. I imagine your attitude will change very quickly.

There always seems to be one knob (petrol) head in every thread, why is that?

Thasnks MC. mr P Head seems to think that most have, so thats alright and expalins everything. beleive my, i can tolerate town centre noise. We get everything from Fights, Drunk Yobs, Traffic, Crashes, Road Drills at night, Dawn Chorus, Fireworks, Fireworks, Fireworks, and Fireworks. But a crappy old all night car alarm is the one thing that benefits no-ne, never shuts up and drives us beserk. It is also simply avoided. Hopefully tomorrow morning we will be less cranky.
