Can we ban car alarms from this planet? Please? Can we get a law on the books to silence these useless pieces of junk electronics?

At one, two, three, and five AM this morning some retard's riced-out Mitsubishi's horn decided to go off for ten minute intervals for no goddamn reason. Once ten minutes had elapsed and the alarm finally went quiet, it seemed to only be catching its breath as it would begin again two or three seconds later.

What causes these things to go off for no reason? And, for that matter, how do you handle this problem without resorting to taking out your agression with a baseball bat? I actually considered stuffing rags into the air intake to try to muffle the thing.

bb gun?

Go to court... You could get the owner because he or his proprety didn't respect "night-silence" (don't know if the word exists). Over here it's forbidden to be noisy between 1am and 6am (I think)...

I'm considering designing a high voltage discharge device that should take care of the problem.

An inverter, two or three extra batteries in the trunk and a flourescent light ballast should do it.

Any other ideas?

determine the address of the owner of the car, hook a clapper up to a high powered boom box, conceal it in their bushes outside the bedroom window, run the clapper out near the car. when the alarm goes off, the radio will wake the owner. put a tape loop in the boom box of you saying "TURN THAT GODDAMN ALARM OFF, ASSHOLE!!!!"

that oughta do it

a disposeable camera (get old ones free from the shops usually) with a flash has a wonderful little capacitor that can fry more things, nice and small. Rig a few together in paralell for more fun (also great for making gauss guns)

Ahh, yeah! Where would you hook it to the car, though?

This means I might finally have an excuse to order some sweet high voltage devices!

I've had that happen to me twice in life. While it wasn't late at night, it was still annoying.

What happened was that a screw had come loose from under the stering wheel, and for some reason, set off the horn. Basically, the return of said screw solved the problem quickly.

I have no idea how that Mitsubishi is wired, so maybe it's not as simple as a loose screw.

:thumb: I was just about to drag those guys out. They rock.

Depending on the car you would only need exposed, grounded metal.

[voice of reason] you could always go knock on the guy's door and ask him to set the alarm on a less sensitive setting[/voice of reason]

Hush, Voice of Reason.

Its actually not so easy when you live in an apartment complex and can't locate the guy. I planned to drop a note on the car this morning, but the owner left before I was able to force myself out of bed. (Gee, wonder why I had a difficult time getting up early?)

Besides, this is my version of fun.

oh, yeah. that kind of shoots my boom box idea in the ass, too.

put vaseline under his door handles...lots of it

Kitsune, gotta give you props on the thread title. It cracks me up every time I read it.

You want to get him really badly? Piss or vomit into his ventilation system (those holes just near the front window)... That's nasty... He'll never get rid of the smell, so he can't sell his car anymore... Harharhar

yeah. i can hear it. bwoop bwoop bwoop.......great.

Who are you, and what have you done with Lumberjim?

Summertime is coming so that means balogna and blueberries will be useful.

I really hope that isn't referring to Pi's vomit idea.

I really hope that it is. :)

Oh I hope I didn't give anybody some new ideas? That would give me very bad conscience...
Another idea everybody knows and which I never tried myself : Putting a potato into his exhaust. If you really have to press it in and stick it very far : Bad idea!
But maybe LJ has some more funnies to tell us about cars. Or do you only sell them?

The balogna will bind with the paint and will pull a nice round ring of paint up when it curls in the heat.

The blueberries will actually dye the glass blue if it gets hot enough.

Hey thanks man. I have some problems with my neighbour. Maybe this would help.

Oh, yeah! I remember reading about this, only the version I saw also included instructions for cutting a smiley face in the balogna.

You could also back one of his valve stems out about one turn and then locktite one of the lugnuts in place.

the ultimate irony would be to steal it. but i don't think that's wise.

Black shoe polish on both side mirrors, and a glop of vaseline on the touch surface of his doorhandles would get the message across clearly.

If you really want to do him, take his plates off the car, and call a tow company to remove the abandoned vehicle. posing as the apartment complex, naturally.

But don't forget *67

There are payphones left in the world ...

Problem with most of these ideas is that many of them would set off the oversensitive alarm, and someone would look out to be pissed off at whoever it was that set off the alarm, see you, know you, and call the cops on you for messing with Joe Smith's car.

Oh, and if you do the urine thing, see if you can get someone's other than yours. DNA, you know? Do you have a male dog? It's relatively easy to get a good sized sample.

what're they gonna do, dna test everyone in the apt complex?

[tinfoil hat] or have we all already been mapped and just don't know it???[/tinfoil hat]:eek:

i say a 12ga with 00Buck would solve the problem !!!

Better safe than sorry. Oh, I forgot. These are just "pranks," not property destruction, theft by unlawful taking, vandalism, or grand theft auto.

The owner of the damaged or otherwise inconvenienced vehicle will just have a hearty laugh with Kitsune and say "hey, that was really funny. Let's go toiletpaper some dude's house next!!"

You want real destruction of property and risking a catastrophe.... put some doe scent on car.

Skip the DNA traceble fluids - go with scrambled raw eggs or blended chicken livers or, for special occasions, both.

Right on Wolf & Onyx. If you have a problem with me and therefore fuck with my car, you are the lowest form of pond scum.:mad:

but he doesn't have a problem with the owner, he has a problem with his car.

Horseshit.:p

what, smear it on the windsheild? put a big pile next to the driver door?

It's impossible to convince someone of the truth, when their livelyhood tells them otherwise.

aw, now why ya gotta go there? i can't lie at my job. everyone is expecting that. I have to hold myself to a higher standard.

I know the truth. i can handle the truth. I suggested that he just find the guy and talk to him, but he wanted fun ideas.......

buzzkill :p
