THE CAR ALARM

Never had I heard a car alarm go off and thought to myself “oh my goodness, someone’s car might be being broken into”. My usual thought process involves taking some sort of blunt object, usually a baseball bat or a medieval mace and making that car shut up. Is a mean thug who is willing to steal your car and commit jail time going to be afraid of loud noises? Instead of carrying pepper spray or taser guns, why don’t we just give people loud bells and whistles to scare away would be assailants, clearly the thought process works the same for car thieves. And while we are on the subject, who was the piece of work that created the actual sound that the car alarm makes. Why don’t we change that annoying, ear-drum-piercing screech, to “Caribbean Queen” by Billy Ocean so when the ford Taurus across the street decides to throw a tantrum, we can at least have a dance party.
