Today, I learned that my car alarm only goes off if the car is unlocked a bit forcibly. Doesn't make a sound when some prick breaks the window out in the middle of the night to steal my cd player. FML

Today, I got a new CD player for my car and an alarm installed for added security. After work, I saw my windows smashed, the CD player gone, the alarm wires cut, and a note that said, "Try again." FML

Today, my car was broken into, on the same night I stayed up late researching how to install my new car alarm. FML

Today, my car was broken into. They broke the passenger side window and took my radio system. But they didn't take the remote for it. FML

Today, someone broke into my car by smashing the driver's side window. I'd be less irritated if they had just used the door handle; the lock has been broken for years. FML

Today, I came out to find my truck window broken. They broke into my truck to yank out the stereo. It was unlocked the whole time. FML

Today, I woke up to find my car broken into. After being upset for not hearing my car alarm go off I realized it had in the middle of the night. I had woken up and cursed the idiot who set off their alarm and put a pillow over my head, falling back to sleep shortly after. FML

Today, I got into my car and realised that my CDs were no longer in my glove box. According to the police, the random key code for my car type has been cracked, and thieves can now let themselves in whenever they want. The manufacturer says they can't do anything about it. FML

Today, I visited my friend in a nasty part of town. When I saw the shattered window of the car next to me, and the missing stereo, I moved my car to a safer location. Luckily, though, I have a common car, so the thieves were able to jimmy the lock and steal my stereo without making any noise. FML

Today, I got an alarm installed in my car, and was having problems with it not going off when the car was hit. To demonstrate this to the installers, I bumped my car with my hip, which left a dent, and set the alarm off. FML

And even if it did, you probably would have just ignored it anyway, like everyone else does, right?

I found that out too...was babysitting one night and the parents came home and said that someone had broken into my car (the alarm never went off). The doors were still locked, but someone had smashed a window, so I ended up losing 400$ instead of making $100 that night. People are worthless.

The alarm only goes off when you open the door. If they smashed the window and leaned in and took the radio out, it would not have set off the alarm. It would be too expensive to put a sensor on each window that would set the alarm off if the window was broken. Sucks.
