Car Alarm...

This minivan's been going off for about TWO HOURS under my window on gates now, and I'm ready to take the law into my own hands. Seriously, I can't even believe this shitty van even HAS an alarm, as if all the CH kids are itchin' to take the Aerostar for a joyride with junior in the back. Jesus.

You can call 311. In a pain in the arse process to lodge the complaint and they have to send the police out but it sure beats having to listen to a stupid alarm going off for two hours.I think someone else called the cops, because they showed up soon after I posted and shone flashlights inside the windows, walked around it for a bit. All they did was ticket the car, though, and the alarm kept blaring, on-and-off, until at least 2 a.m., when I finally nodded off, so who knows how long it actually was malfunctioning. If they just disregard the ticket and it goes off again, it's getting a brick through the window with a nice note written around it. Heh.
