Today, I learned that my car alarm only goes off if the car is unlocked a bit forcibly. Doesn't make a sound when some prick breaks the window out in the middle of the night to steal my cd player. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got a new CD player for my car and an alarm installed for added security. After work, I saw my windows smashed, the CD player gone, the alarm wires cut, and a note that said, "Try again." FML
Today, my car was broken into, on the same night I stayed up late researching how to install my new car alarm. FML
Today, my car was broken into. They broke the passenger side window and took my radio system. But they didn't take the remote for it. FML
Today, someone broke into my car by smashing the driver's side window. I'd be less irritated if they had just used the door handle; the lock has been broken for years. FML
Today, I woke up to the sound of my car being stolen. FML
Today, I came out to find my truck window broken. They broke into my truck to yank out the stereo. It was unlocked the whole time. FML
Today, I woke up to find my car broken into. After being upset for not hearing my car alarm go off I realized it had in the middle of the night. I had woken up and cursed the idiot who set off their alarm and put a pillow over my head, falling back to sleep shortly after. FML
Today, I got into my car and realised that my CDs were no longer in my glove box. According to the police, the random key code for my car type has been cracked, and thieves can now let themselves in whenever they want. The manufacturer says they can't do anything about it. FML
Today, I visited my friend in a nasty part of town. When I saw the shattered window of the car next to me, and the missing stereo, I moved my car to a safer location. Luckily, though, I have a common car, so the thieves were able to jimmy the lock and steal my stereo without making any noise. FML
Today, I got an alarm installed in my car, and was having problems with it not going off when the car was hit. To demonstrate this to the installers, I bumped my car with my hip, which left a dent, and set the alarm off. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

And even if it did, you probably would have just ignored it anyway, like everyone else does, right?

Most people don't ignore them, they just shut them off quickly, usually after looking at the car. If it's at night, they're more likely to look. I know if I had an alarm and it went off at 2am I'd sure be checking it out, not just blindly shutting it off. Does sound like a piece of garbage though. Not sure what's worse, that, or when they go off when a person so much as brushes against them. I've heard them go off for basketballs bouncing on the hood, too.

Aw that really sucks! The car I drive doesn't have a CD player either(the dude that sold it to my parents apparently upgraded it then took his upgraded stereo out when he decided to sell the car -_-') its so boring! lol Plus no window either, car alarms SUCK! =( Haha I know my problem is totally trivial, I'm feeling kinda rambly... lol :P

Psssh It was obviously the robot that did it. It used its lazers on the window, smashing would have set the alarm off! lol :P Dude, short circuit that trecherous dirtbag! :D

My mom's van is weird like that. If you hit the button once, it only locks the drivers side door and turns on the alarm. You have to hit it twice to lock all the other doors, but that turns off the alarm. So the alarm only works if the drivers side door is the only one locked. It also goes off randomly when it storms.

The lightning scares it. Take it inside when it storms. If you let it sleep on the end of your bed, it won't whine with every rumble of thunder.

Who the hell steals cd players these days? You really don't need that cd player anyway. Now you can join the rest of us in the 21st century.

if the car alarm is that messed up I wold guess that the cd is the only thing the car has going for it in terms of music playing abilities.

Car alarms are useless most of the time. Then when they don't work you just realized you paid a ton of money for something useless and your out a radio.

just curious what CD you had in the player before it was stolen.

if your friend sets the alarm when you in it, then you open up the door.....it goes off then too!
