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?

My stupid alarm is the same. Will not go off unless you actually open the door. I haven't tested this theory, but I'm pretty sure you could break the window, climb in, hotwire the ignition, and steal the car without setting off the alarm.

My car alarm didn't go off until the first time last Friday. up until then i didn't even know i had an alarm, it caught me by surprise. Who knew that leaving the trunk unlocked for a bit, then coming back from inside the house to open it up would set off the alarm?

I've had that shit happen. Trying adding on that a friend was borrowing the car, and the CD player was a gift. THEN it really sucks.

Ahhh... who cares? What do CD players cost these days anyway? 8 bucks?

It was a factory console CD player you half-wit. You know, the kind you have to forcibly wrench from the car?! It's gonna cost well over $1000 considering the busted window, half wrenched off GPS, etc.. The only saving grace (ha) is insurance.
