Car alarms are not useful for bystanders, they are useful for the owner of the car (who would know their alarm shouldn't be going off).

That said, this makes them near-useless in most public settings.

"That couldn't have been mine, someone already shut it off" They will think, as the thief disconnects their battery and loads the car on a flatbed.
