Accidentally set off your vehicle's alarm?

It's 8am and my husband was outside doing yard work, every time he bent over, he set off the truck alarm because his keys were in his pocket. He thought it was someone else (we live on an acre). ugh.

Did you ever set off your alarm?

Nope, I don't even think our car alarm even works 😛 It's a 2008 model and it's ageing to the point that we can't afford a new car right now.

I can't say I have ever set off my own car alarm, as I don't own a car at the moment, but I have in the past accidentally set off other car alarms and family members' car alarms.

I’ve done it a couple of times. It’s so embarassing to me and I don’t even know why! 🤣🤣
My husband has done it too. He changed out his key fob plastic thing for some metal one he got off of Amazon and while he was putting it together at my dad’s house, it kept setting his alarm off. We’re on a lot of private land at our house but my dad’s house is like a neighborhood so I know for a fact everyone was like what on earth is going on. 😖😅

A lot back in the 90s when I was a kid lol. We'd get so scared that the cops were going to come.

I've never heard the alarm on my current twenty year old car let alone set it off but I know it has one. I do wonder if it actually works though!

Did you think the cops would come because they thought someone was breaking in to your car or just because of the noise? 🤣 😅

Sadly both, and it was in the grade school parking lot. My friends and I were around 10 yrs old at the time lol 🙂

Oh no!!! Yeah, I definitely get where you’re coming from with that then. 😅

Literally for the first time the other day. The electric key ran out of battery so I unlocked it with the physical one. The car said, "Physical key??? You must be trying to steal this car!" Had to get my partner's key to turn the bloody thing off.
