Yeah, I can't remember the last time I heard a car alarm.

I am jealous, I hear atleast one everyday. I live in an apartment complex in a suburb. I get woken up by them sometimes too

I live in one with more than 2 million people and it's something that I have to think hard about to remember the last time I heard one go off.

Longer if I have to think of one that went off and wasn't some form of 'oh shit oh shit oh shit, wrong button' reaction from the person trying who accidentally turned it on.

All it takes is one neighbor to move in with a finicky alarm and a street parking situation to ruin the peace and quite of this amazingly rare statistical anomaly you reside in.

I think this is what makes it such a scam. The amount of false positive alarms makes more people desensitized to them.
