Subject: So my car alarm just went off and I sprung up like a parent who lost their kid Author: ede38 as Ed : member since January, 2005 : 9501 posts Posted on: 2008-11-02 19:47:22

On my fu-ton and all the sudden I hear the loud whistle and in less than a second I knew it was my car so I flew up and went to the door and turned on the light and could see the car making noise but no lights were flashing and no one near by (my window was open and I didn't hear any people just before either).

So I went back to my room to get the key and walked out and shut it off and heard a neighbors door shut and got my big flashlight from the boot to make sure all was well and it looked fine. Locked it went inside and now I have the front door open, lights and TV on in the living room.

Did someone get to close? Don't the lights flash with it? I got back from Taco Health about 15 mins ago and had to lock it with the physical key because the remote wasn't responding in their lot. I did notice a red truck and the neighbors door was one that has a big moving thing in front of her house so I don't know if red truck man walked by or was checking the car out or what. Kind of odd but makes me very nervous.
