I don't blame them for hiding, that damn sticker is expensive, $100 this year (yes I have to pay to park in front of the building I pay to live in), but being woken up by their alarm just about threw me over the edge. The only actual funny part was listening to them panic, scramble around, and try to turn it off before someone actually DID throw a rock through it. <BR/><BR/>If they ever activate it again and start the insanity over you are invited to visit, with rocks. Bring M, we can blame her and her cuteness will melt the campus cops hearts and we'd totally get away with it!

I was so annoyed when my new neighbors moved in and have a car alarm that they could not for the life of them figure out how to use. I think it was compounded by the fact that they have a toddler. Since it hasn't been going off hourly anymore I think they disabled it.
