So, around 4:40AM last night, I'm sleeping soundly...and some car alarm goes off. Sounds like someone laying on the horn. I just thought ugggh...tried to sleep through it and around 5 I realized it ain't gonna happen. So I get up to have a look...its MY car! WTF ! I don't have a car alarm!!

So I run outside and press on the horn, the horn goes off. WTF! I turn over the car, press on the horn, release. It goes off. Whew.

But WTF would cause that!? My only guess is that since I have a leaky windshield, water leaked on it and froze in there now that its very cold around here. I hope it doesn't happen again...

My car's battery was drained when I tried to start it yesterday.. It's weird cause' I haven't had a problem with it draining ever since I got my alarm fixed.

They do that to me all the time. It pisses me off. Especially when they turn around and replace my broken windows. A couple of times they've installed a stereo too.

How about when you find they've filled your gas tank? How annoying is that?

Very good! LOL They wanted their new car to have an alarm. They just decided to install one BEFORE stealing it, rather than after.

Ohhhh, I know what it was. They were from a new car alarm company and they were giving away free samples.

The same thing happened in Poltergeist.
The next thing you know you'll be sucked into your TV.

Getting sucked into my TV wouldn't be bad. I'd have a better view of people hurting themselves on MXC.

Hmm, well the car seems pissed since I informed it that I'd be selling it. I went to start my car this morning, driver's door is too iced up to open. Oookay, go over to passenger side, open it up, start the car. Then I goto exit the passenger door, clank, the handle on the inside and outside no longer works.

Damn it.
