It's so freaking annoying when car alarms go off in the early morning, and people can't seem to figure out how to turn them off! They're annoying at any time during the day really, but when I'm getting in my best sleep, I don't want to be woken up to the sound of piercing wails, beeping blips, and screeching sirens. There are a few moments of glorious silence though...but it only lasts long enough for me to get my hopes up that someone turned the thing off before it starts up again.

Though I should count myself lucky. If I lived in a bigger city, I'm sure I'd have to deal with this kind of thing all the time. Thankfully, there only seems to be this one car on my block that has a car alarm.

What do you do when you hear a car alarm? And if you own a car with one of the damn things installed, how come it seems to take so long for people to turn them off?!?!
