I've never had a car worth stealing, and my parents never really believed in car alarms. Truth is, the majority of the older ones were too sensitive and would go off if an acorn fell from a tree and onto the car. Combine that with the fact that my block and neighborhood is mostly apartments, so it's lucky if I can park on my BLOCK, and a miracle if I get a spot in front of my actual building. Kind of ironic though, that if I lived in a nicer neighborhood, and had my own driveway, I'd more than likely have a car alarm, since I'd actually notice if something were wrong.

Plus I live in the city, and car alarms used to be very prevalent. Oddly enough, now that I think about it, I really haven't heard one in quite some time. Either that or I've just completely tuned them out now, much like homeless people in the streets.
