We’ve all been there. It’s the middle of the night and you’ve just managed to drift off to sleep when suddenly your peace is interrupted by the sound of a car alarm. It’s annoying, but it helps keep people’s car’s safe, right? The answer is complicated. Read on to find out just how effective car alarms really are.
Car alarms and car theft
The first car alarm was developed a century ago, but they didn't become widespread until the 1960s and 1970s. Over time, people grew to ignore them, especially in the 1980s and early 1990s when urban crime rates were high. Nowadays, the streets are still teeming with older cars with loud, obnoxious anti-theft measures. Most of the time, when we hear a car alarm, we just try to ignore it, and most car thieves know this.
