Goddamnit. A car in the parking lot of my building has a car alarm that's gone off three four five six times in the last half hour or so. I've been staring at the car from my window. As far as I can tell, there is nothing triggering it. There are no loud noises, and there are no people or animals near the car. I want to make it shut up, or at the very least, let its owner know it's an incredible nusaince. It's worse than the hyper yappy dogs across the street, and that's saying A LOT. I want to put a note under the wiper, but I'm afraid if I breathe on the thing wrong, it will go off again.
Ah. One of my neighbors just did it for me. He says this often happens several times a day. We had a conversation through the window wondered if this is the same asshole whose friends all pull up and honk repeatedly to let them know they're here.
Grr.

389.65. Public nuisance noise. (http://livepublish.municode.com/13/lpext.dll/Infobase46/1/315f/3282/3287/32f3?f=hitlist&q=noise&x=Simple&opt=&skc=8000000440232453585451AE000032F4&c=curr&gh=1&2.0#LPHit1)
It shall be unlawful for any person to make, continue, permit, or cause to be made or continued within the city, any loud, disturbing or excessive noise which would be likely to cause significant discomfort or annoyance to a reasonable person of normal sensitivities present in the area.
I can certainly understand the idea behind car alarms; but I have never seen one work as intended. The only time I've seen a car with an alarm going of has been because the operator set it off themselves. And, of course, it's really awesome when they go off for several minutes.
I wonder: does removing the vehicle's battery stop the alarm, or does it have its own power source?
