I know I am not off my beam with this one. I'm writing this at 4 o'clock in the morning. An hour ago, I was rudely awakened by the repeating sound of "Warning, the police have been called / Warning, the police have been called." Yes, it was a car alarm - the noise seemed to be coming from just outside my bedroom window.
I wasn't sure if the police had, in fact, been called; so I did. The helpful dispatcher informed me that police were on the way but when I asked if they'd be able to shut the alarm off, he told me, "I hope so". Not exactly reassuring.
Why aren't car alarms like house alarms? If your house alarm goes off, the monitoring company calls you. Too many false alarms result in a fine. Car alarms should be no different. Then the owner of that blaring vehicle would also be awake at 3 and 4 in the morning. Oh, and did I mention that the car went off a second time? Yes, right after the police left from the first incident; and right about the time I was heading back to bed.
So instead of dreaming and renewing my cellular materials, I'm writing this blog. And, as you have now seen, I am completely ON my beam!
