To the guy with the brown Nissan vehicle that parks in the back lot of my building off Dunbrack – do you think you could take this thing in to get serviced?
I am getting sick and tired of hearing your stupid panic alarm going off randomly and without reason. Does the wind set the bloody thing off? I was having a lovely sleep this morning when it started blasting around 5 am. Everyone in our building knows it’s your car, particularly those of us with windows facing the lot. I think the worst time might have been 5 episodes in one night after 10 pm – it’s clearly not working properly.—Sounding off

Leave a note and see if it also sets off the alarm. I hate those things with a passion, working properly or not.
poop on their car
If you know who this person is can’t you get the LL to say something to them if it disturbs a number of people?
Car alarms are useless. I mean how many people ever respond to one or call the police when they’re activated?
I’m with both melectric and girl of pain…
gather together with the landlord and collectively poop on their car.
it’s a dunbrack thing. happens in our building’s lot all of the time. just call the cops. cops come, run the plate, call the owner and generally give them a “warning” type of talk. ie: get your piece of shit self install fixed. don’t know what happens if they get called again. never had to.
worked for us. green acura has been quiet ever since.
i’m a beauty sleep coaster.
Saw some dude in Toronto take a baseball bat to a car with a persistant panick alarm and no owner to be found. It was pretty priceless, if I do say so myself.
it just makes you want to go out and start smashing.
The poop on car is a great idea, but make sure it’s on a bright, hot sunny day so it bakes right onto the car nice.
