 Who the hell are you to tell others they do not have the right to protect 
 their property? 
  
 Yes, false car alarms are a nuisance, but not nearly as much so as the 
 screaming sirens and diesel horns often used EXCESSIVELY and even 
 UNNECESSARILY by ambulances and other city vehicles. 
  
 My car alarm has prevented a break-in more than once. I agree that the alarm 
 makers and installers should be required to make these as false-alarm-proof 
 as possible, but they should not be banned.
