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.


House ones shouldn‘t either but sometimes the timer doesn‘t work. Ditto
car alarms.

I think domestic alarms are supposed to cut out after 20 mins but heaven
knows how many older designs there are still in service.



A cousin of my wife's, designed, built and installed his own alarm system
and then went on holiday. The non-stop bell was remembered in the village
for many years - it even got a mention at his funeal !
