To the jackass that set off the car alarm outside my bedroom window at 2am lastnight… and to the car’s owner who didn’t turn it off. I’m on my third cup of coffee and barely making it through the morning because I got a grand total of 3 hours sleep lastnight. I’m sure I’m one of many Tower Road residents suffering this morning. I can’t even muster the energy to bitch loud enough. Turn off your car alarms people. Good night.

Next time you should run out banging pots and pans.
again…*sigh* with the 60’s legislation here. Most cities have laws that allow peace officers to damage your vehicle in order to maintain the “good peace and order” of citizens affected. In other words, if you think your car or bike needs electronic protection, be prepared to monitor it. Law enforcement agencies, globally, have authorization to disconnect your battery to stop the alarm. once again..Halifax does not.
Hahahaha I was at a friends place in Toronto and there was a bit of a wind storm on – anyway, dudes car alarm kept goign off. It would stop, another gust of wind would come and set it off again. Obviously the owner wasn’t home / didn’t care etc. After an hour, my friend and I watched some old man come out with a baseball bat and start beating the fuck out of the car. It was pretty funny.
That would be so eXcellent to see a cop smashing out a window, pop the hood and disconnect the battery. Better yet unload his sidearm into the engine compartment.
