Wireless - pure wireless. Even the lamp.

Even the lamp.

Not so fast. I see that wire (on the table, and only on the table, but still)!

Actually, I'd say it was the idiot car alarm designer's fault!

I really am so very thankful that these have, by and large, matured in such a way that butterfly landings don't set them off. I lived through the period where someone else's car alarm going off nearby could trigger another. And I was living in metro Washington, DC, at the time, where high status cars with these things in them were dirt common.

My neighbors car alarm would go off on windy days/nights. Just the rocking of the car would set it off.

I once had a 2002 Hyundai Accent, and it was both my first car and the worst car I ever owned. It had an alarm that went off all the time until I simply quit arming it. That vehicle also had transmission problems ever 15,000 miles like clockwork, burned through brake pads every 15,000 miles, had tremendous brake fade after the first brake job (presumably something wrong with the rear drum brakes) where it felt like the car took extended distance to stop despite pressing HARD it would almost slip surely not having enough to lock up the wheels, and once a year the AC needed to be recharged.

My guess is it became not socially acceptable to have car alarms go off, but all cars after were nice and quiet.
