Today, I finally managed to sleep, after two days of being kept awake by the miniature floodlights my neighbors have installed to scare off burglars. Only a couple of hours into my sleep, I woke up to the sound of their car being broken into. FML

Watt's the big deal? You don't sound very bright to me. Let me shed some light on the situation - hang some blackout shades and wear ear plugs.

That's what I did when my neighbors had bright lights. Anyway, despite being woken up, this actually kind of seems like a win for the OP.

I sleep during the day due to working overnights. Sheets won't do crap but you can buy black out curtains which work great.

63 - your profile says you're 21. Either way you may have got the FML which seems to be a feat but you've totally missed the point

A large sheet of construction paper, or aluminum foil in the windows; one of the best temporary fixes I've found.

A burglar saw the floodlight and thought "Challenge Accepted!"

41 - your a complete DUMBASS. OP has been restless for THREE nights, and you think the neighbors should be on FML?

42, I never said OP wasn't suffering. But before you call me a dumbass, read the Post again. It was the NEIGHBORS' car that got broken into, even after all the money they spent to prevent that exact thing from happening!

So why is he breaking into his neighbor's car? Is he wording it like this because he's schizophrenic?

Those lights can be bothersome. Perhaps wear a sleeping mask and ear plugs.

Perhaps if Edison were here he'd have a more direct solution.

I've never really understood putting lights up to "scare off burglars." I guess that would work if someone was looking so they could see what they were doing and call the cops, but what if it's 3 in the morning and no one is watching? You're just giving the burglar light to see in.

Well, if they're bright enough, people like the OP are watching.

There's a better chance of getting caught if your lit up. @ 3am its unlikely but if i was a burglar i would steal shit from the pitch black cars than the ones in lit up areas.
