Neighbour's Alarm Going Off - Solution?

[Negative Creep]

The burglar alarm in the house next to me keeps going off at all times of the day and night. It's not loud, but loud enough to be in the background most of the time, which can get rather annoying. I don't think the cat likes it very much either. The house is empty and appears to have been abandoned for some time going by the state of it. Is there anyone I can notify who could do something about it?

Just break in and nick their telly ....... or hide dead fish in unlikely places, or mustard seed on a damp carpet

Phone the local council who probably will have an answerphone and not get back to you. If you do get through, they will tell you to phone someone who will tell you to phone someone else and they are out until wednesday.

It's not for the cops to deal with.

Ladder and big wrecking bar.

Log the times then contact Environmental Health at the local Council.

burgle it

they will suspect it's a false alarm

Expanding foam should do it

Done that. By the time anything happens, the ringer will have oxidised sufficiently to silence it.

Is there an electric box on the outside of the house? If so open it up, turn of the leccy, go away for the weekend and it'll run down it's battery and your job is done.

I say take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

See you chaps in 30 days, I'm off for a spell in the cooler.

Yes. It was true. Since the police couldn't have given a flying monkey's, I borrowed my neighbours ladder and a claw hammer and was that angry the lid came off in one whack. The second whack had the thing detatched from the wall.

Burglar alarms serve no purpose apart from to say "Mr Bloggs' alarm is going off again".

I stayed in a house the other day where the people alarmed the downstairs at night. Paranoid religious freaks.

I like this guy - can we keep him?

We had this a few years ago. One of our neighbours went away and their damn alarm was going off constantly. It'd ring for about an hour at a time. Third day it happened I walked out side to discover one of my other neighbours stood in the street throwing half bricks at the box on the wall. Took him about 20 minutes of trying but he shut it up eventually!

A while back one of the people-in-the-other-flats had a burglar alarm which kept going off. It didn't just go off because it was dodgy, it went off because they kept fking about with it. At 2 in the morning. Over and over again.

It was mounted on the wall only a few feet from my window, so one night I leaned out the window with a long bit of wood which I used as a battering ram on the alarm housing. Five seconds later it was lying on the ground 20 feet below and it never went back up.

The sodding alarm at the pub opposite me went off at 1.15am this morning, and continued to irritate the hell out of me for 20 mins before shutting up. Eventually the Police turned up and it then shut up.
