Personal: Car Alarm

S–ds law! I was fast asleep (after spending most of the evening getting myself in a ‘sleepy mood’) and then the car alarm off a car over the street goes off and wakes me up at 3.40 in the d—n morning! It goes off, resets, goes off again, resets – *grr*. It’s just impossible to sleep when it’s over the road from you.

I think the owners of the car have now finally shut the thing off – but I was getting so annoyed, irritated and angry at it I thought of actually getting my dressing gown on, going over to the car and give it something to be alarmed about (thinking brick through the window sort of thing)…

Huh, as I was typing this – a police car has just drawn up outside – obviously come to investigate a complaint made by someone else. The owner of the car has now come out to inspect it with the two police officers, but it doesn’t look like there’s been any damage whatsoever made to the car.

A second police car has now arrived, but by looks of things one of the original officers told them there was no need for them. They’ve (the two police officers and the car owner) have now gone into the house so it looks like things might be quieting down now (the alarm is off, but looking at the car I can see the red flashing ‘alarm armed’ light inside) so I’m going to try and get back to sleep – my alarm is due to go off at 7.30am (in two and a half hours time)…
