All things being equal, it is my understanding that the reason alarms go off all the time is because they are much cheaper and don't have the same quality innards. It sounds as if your neighbor is trying to save money.

If a city truck goes by, it sounds off. If a large SUV goes by, it sounds. If anything at all happens, it sounds. It does this until at least 2 or 3 am, when the streets have relatively no traffic. I'll bet that's the one you're hearing. I started checking each time I heard an alarm, due to posts about break-ins, and that's how I discovered this baby that "cries wolf." Oh well, what can you do...

Someone took a screw driver to the trunk of the car and broke the lock. There was nothing in the trunk of great value, but the damage and repair costs will be significant. I am posting this in order to alert everyone who lives in the area. We have reported this to UCD and will notify the police. Joe Clarke " The first casualty of war is truth.
