Sorry to be so negative. Stupid neighbor from across the street must have got a car alarm put on his car last week. I have terrible trouble with sleep and last week and last night the alarm went off around 3 a.m. That tells me that whoever it is won't or can't get it adjusted so other cars going by don't set it off. The sensitivity is probably set too high. Do they like being woke up that late? Then they reset it so it could possibly go off again. It didn't but I was worried and I was up late trying to get to sleep when it went off this time. Just another reason I need to move. That is very insensitive of someone not to have that fixed. Some people can sleep through anything, but I can't. Everything wakes me up and of course it would be right across the street, not down the street. It is very annoying. I would go talk to the neighbor nicely if I knew who it was. I hate this place. Sorry.
It's always annoying getting woken up in the middle of the night. If they're anything like me though, maybe your neighbours don't even realise their alarm can be set to a less sensitive level. I wouldn't have a clue. i don't even now if my car HAS an alarm. If it does and it ever went off I'd have no idea what to do. At least they know how to switch theirs off!
I'm a light sleeper, everything wakes me too, but I wake up frequently anyway.
That is what I thought too, but I hear them reset it so they know it is being set off so I went up the street to my friend Ron's house and he said it wasn't that, it was their kids. It is a black family that haven't been here long and I think they are the kind you don't want to have mad at you. They are completely inconsiderate of their neighbors. Why don't they hide the remotes from their children and why would they be up at 3 and 4 in the morning setting them off. Is it a prank? I didn't get to ask Ron because it started raining and I had to get back home. If I knew for sure it was the duplex right up from him I would call the police the next time it happens and see if they could go talk to them but of course not let them know it was me that reported them. I don't need another neighbor having it in for me. Tonight it went off about 11:30 pm and we were up. Alex just went to sleep at midnight. I am going soon. I sleep weird hours, worse in the summer, but until this started, I was at least getting to bed before so terribly late. Home

The fever and everything is making it all worse for you but there's nothing you can really do unless you have some ear plugs you could use at night so you won't hear the alarm. that's the only thing I can suggest.
Hopefully you'll be able to move somewhere quieter before long. *hugs*
Tried ear plugs, must hurt my ears. I actually used my earbuds, but this is way too close to my house. Really loud and even with earbuds and a fan for background noise doesn't work. If it was further away, I probably would not wake up.
Well I went across the street and talked to one of the few neighbors I like, Ron, he said it is the family right up from him which I know is that latest group of black people and a bunch of kids that moved in a few months back. They were the ones that cussed Alex one day. I don't want to mess with them. I am afraid even if I was nice they might get mad at me. Ron said the kids are actually getting hold of the remotes and setting off the car alarm. Why are little kids up at 3:30 and 4 in the morning in the summer time playing pranks I guess. They get up and shut the alarm off I guess, the parents, and then reset the alarm. I didn't know you could set alarms off with the remotes. Mine just beep to set the alarm and 2 beeps to turn it off. If you open the door then the alarm would go off if it is armed with my car. Why are they not punishing their kids and again, up that time of night, disturbing neighbors? I bet I wasn't the only one woken up before, and last night I was trying to go to sleep. They should hide keys and remotes from the

They really should, there's no excuse for letting your kids set off the car alarm in the middle of the night. Some parents just don't behave responsibly so how are their kids ever going to learn to be responsible? Sadly too many people let their kids run riot these days and never try to discipline them.
Oh I forgot I wrote this, I was just going on about this in another post here. Exactly, they should punish them. I have seen the little brats running around in the road up there. They are going to get hit by a car if they are not careful. Parents don't have any sense.
Sad but true. Some people just aren't responsible enough to be parents. They don't care enough about their kids to keep an eye on them and stop them doing stupid things. =(
Sorry, I didn't reply yesterday. Doing quick reply tonight, need to sleep, but yeah I think they are young and just don't think. Throw key chains down with the thing that sets off the alarm and these are little kids who think they are fun to play with maybe or they think it is funny setting off alarms. Last night I had a panic attack worrying about it happening. Never did. It seems quiet now. Hope I can sleep without getting upset tonight.
*hugs* Panic attacks at night are almost worse than in the day. Grab some crystals to soothe you. Just holding them can help.
Young children probably would think it funny and daring, they don't know any better, but it's up to the parents to teach them and to kept temptation out of reach.
Yeah that is the problem, these are young parents and I think they just don't think. The last 2 or 3 nights no alarms have gone off so hoping they have done something about it or maybe another neighbor called the police on them. That would be great. I hate dealing with that even though I would tell the police not to tell them it was me who called. Then again when it first started, it happened one night and was almost a week later happened again, then I got one night where it didn't happen, then next night it did. Sorry that was long and rambling. I just hope it stays quiet, if it only happens say once a month or something, I will try not to worry, but if it goes back to happening a lot, I will keep a calendar of the time and nights to show police. I have to be able to rest and a lot of nights I wake up even without any noise outside. I hate this disorder. I can go through times of resting fine and then I might have several nights in a row of waking up and struggling to go back to sleep so I am guessing now my meds do still work, it

I'll keep my fingers crossed that the parents have hidden the alarm remote where the kids can't get it and told their kids off, but keeping a record is a good idea if it starts up again. It's one thing if a car alarm goes off because someone is trying to steal it, but when it's deliberate, that's just wrong.
I loved Robin Williams, one of the funniest people ever, and it's just so sad that such great talent and humour was hiding such despair and misery that he wound up ending his own life. He'll always be remembered for the joy he brought to others.
Thank you, yeah been quiet so far. Maybe they hid the remotes. Yeah well not keeping control of their kids and waking up the neighborhood at 3 a.m. is not right.
Yeah I loved Robin Williams too. The last person I ever thought had depression. I miss him.
