Oddly, it seems this £50 grand vehicle didn't come with an alarm

Just imagine how popular you'd be with all the other campers if you came
back from the pub to find your alarm had been going off for ages.

Vehicle alarms don't go off 'for ages' Unlike house ones.

I'm not sure my neighbours would agree after the episode with a damp
Porsche Boxster and a dodgy battery.

You'd just be getting back to sleep and it would go off again. And
again. And again.


I was kept awake several nights running by a faulty alarm on a KA, I did
not know who owned it, so I put a note on the windscreen saying 'Please
get the alarm looked at, as it is going off during the night' nothing
else, the owner's husband (I later found out) took offence to this very
polite note and apparently muttered all sorts of foulness against me
(never came to anything, and they did get the alarm fixed.) quite
bizarre behaviour, I thought.
