Today, I had finally gotten my dogs to quiet down and my baby to fall asleep. Not thirty seconds later, my neighbor's car alarm went off. They aren't home for the weekend, and the damn alarm has now been blaring for three hours. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was woken up by my neighbour's dog losing its mind, and I remembered reading a story about someone ignoring a dog and later finding out that their car had been stolen. Paranoid, I went outside to check on mine. Nope. Just the damn dog barking at one thirty in the morning. FML
Today, I was so tired, I passed out at work in the middle of a call. All because my neighbor's car alarm kept going off every 3 minutes all through the morning. It was still going when I left for work. If you see a news story in a few days about a whole neighborhood beating a guy to death, that's probably us. FML
Today, I learned that my new neighbour's car alarm goes off every time a car drives by blasting loud bass. So far, it's gone off 6 times in the last hour. I can't wait until he's done moving in here, where he and his car will stay for the next year. FML
Today, my neighbors left for their nine month excursion, and armed their security system. One of the features is a loud series of three beeps every three seconds, 24 hours a day. I can hear it, clear as a bell, throughout my entire house. FML
Today, like every year, my next-door neighbors started setting off their fireworks at exactly midnight. Also, like every year, the sensitive car alarm belonging to another neighbor has gone off with every firework. It's been almost six hours of nonstop alarms and explosions. FML
Today, my car alarm went off during a funeral. Three times. FML
Today, I'm dead on my feet. My flatmate's alarm went off for 20 minutes at 5 a.m., which I heard and he didn't. A car alarm went off outside my window for half an hour at 7 a.m. My building fire alarm went off twice, at 8 and 8:10 a.m. Just let me sleep. FML
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
Today, the neighbor's dog has been barking for over 5 hours. It is barking directly at my window. FML
Today, for the third night in a row, I didn't get any sleep, because my neighbor's new dog won't stop barking when the wind blows. Where I live, we get major wind gusts most days of the week. It's going to be another long night. FML

I would call the police. They have ways to break into cars and could probably turn off the alarm.

Go break that car up! Although on a more serious note maybe you could try get in contact with your neighbors or ring the police to try sort it out.

Did the battery die, if not, just break into the damn thing and drive it far, far away

If you know them you could call them and put the phone up to the car, have them hit the alarm off button and it will shut it off

How would you go on vacation and don't leave the car key to someone so if this would happen there's a way to turn it off . People dont think

Kick it. Although that would be completely utterly disrespectful, it may save you from a migraine.

break the window, pop the hood and cut the battery cable. easy day.

Sooner or later the battery will die. Then it will be quiet. I would not bother to tell them about the alarm - let them figure it out when they have to go to work and the car will not start.

I would without a doubt pack up and go to a hotel

Have it towed. If the alarm is going for longer than one hour you have a right to do so.
