see how many times you can get it to go off during the day... maybe you can drain his battery.
Hehe....i like this....might work.

JasonW, earplugs cracked me up.

I'm going to keep calling in complaints to the police department and see what they will do.

I'm stalking the car just to get a glimpse of the owner. Once I find out who the owner is, I can confront him/her about the alarm.

I guarantee you that person will look like a douchbag. When you see him, the'll be no mistaking it.

When I was younger and worked as a car audio installer, I could spot those people a mile away. They believe the only "effective" alarm is one that goes off all the time. Somehow they have the idea that a siren will keep kids, theives, and vandals away.

Little do they know, it has the exact opposite effect. Kids are amused by being able to set off an alarm just by looking at it funny and thieves know that the more often an alarm goes off the more desensitized people in the area are and are less likely to pay any attention when the alarm goes off.

Funny you say that... I did see him yesterday and you're correct. Primo douche. The type of person that walks around shirtless in a family community with the baseball hat off to the side, shorts barely staying on and addidas flip-flops He had his baby with him, so I didn't confront him, however I know where he lives now. If it goes off again, I'll be sure to ring his doorbell non-stop at 3AM.

Seems the note I left for him worked however. The past two days have been pure bliss as the alarm did not go off. Hopefully it'll stay that way.

If you take a baseball bat to the van, the alarm will just go off again.
