i could be wrong but arent car alarms more to scare off potential car thieves rather than to notify regular joes to turn them into vigilantes? if i hear someone stealing my neighbors car am i really supposed to jump out of bed and fight someone?

No. You open up your window and shoot the ****er. Oh you don't have a gun? Well you're basically just inviting people to come rob and harm you. It's in the 2nd amendment.

Pretty much this. If you see someone driving a car where the alarm is blaring away, then there's a good chance that person just stole that car. Get the plate # and call the Polizei.

I guess the idea used to be that, if someone leaned out of their window and shouted "Ho! You there! What are you at, my fine fellow? Desist immediately or I shall be constrained to inform the local constabulary!" (or words to that effect) it might dissuade him from robbing the car. Of course, as you say now, and rightly, you're more likely to get beaten up, shot, knifed, or, possibly, beaten up, knifed and shot.

At least here ppl don't usually ignore their car alarms cause we understand those alarms are loud and f*ckin annoying so car owners quickly shut them off.

I still remember the car alarms that talked and said stuff like:

"This is an owned vehicle back away from the car"

whatever happened to those alarms? we shoulda made them more sassy to say sh*t like:

"Back away from the car or i'll blow it up."
There was one in the neighborhood I lived in in the mid 90s that said, "Someone's trying to get in on my ride!"
