A closer look
Blaring car alarms are statistically useless at preventing auto theft and exist primarily as a massive noise nuisance for everyone living in the immediate area. Studies indicate that urban dwellers have become so completely desensitized to the annoying wailing sounds that practically nobody ever calls the police when they hear one. Thieves know this, so they simply smash the window, rip out the valuable electronics, and speed away before anyone even bothers to look out their window. The only thing a car alarm actually accomplishes is ruining the sleep schedule of an entire apartment complex because a stray cat happened to jump onto a sensitive hood at midnight. It is a brilliant security feature that exclusively punishes innocent bystanders while doing absolutely zero to stop crime
