Discussion
So i've just been out for a lovelly meal with the folks and my other half. She is baking at the momment so shared a bottle of red with my father and a large glass of whiskey when dropping them off. Just got home SWMBO has turned in so settled down with a black russian and pistonheads for a while.
Now the f
king house across the roads fking noisy ing alarm has started to go off again. The house has been empty for a while now as the husband got home one day to find someone hanging out of his mrs's. I felt sorry for him for a while until he kept begging for her to love him again out in the street every night for a month!
Anyway the house has been empty for an age now. The alarm has been going off for about 25 mins now, the mrs is trying to sleep, she has work in the morning and its driving the whole street nuts. I've been for a look round and there is no sign of a break in.
Anyone know who would have the details of a key holder? Phoned the local cop shop but no joy! Any ideas???

Sounds like the alarm is running off battery power as the electricity supply has probably been turned off. Don't want to alarm you , but this could go on all night or even longer....depends on how much power the battery has left in it.
Oh joy... I can't see it lasting too much longer the guy 2 doors down has a notoriously short temper (heres hoping he has an air riffle!)mike325112 said:

I used to work in a factory that made alarm boxes.
Was fun watching them drag a guy off the line give him a hammer and ask him to destroy it.
Would have been nice if they had given us all ear defenders though. H&S was none existant back then
I'm not getting a great degree of confidence here chaps! Is there anyway of stopping the damn things? Its on its third fWas fun watching them drag a guy off the line give him a hammer and ask him to destroy it.

king cycle now!That's always an option
On the other hand you could ring the alarm people mentioned on the box ( who will probably tell you it's now battery controlled as the electricity has been turned off) and ask them to contact the keyholder to get it turned off.
Or I think there's a noise nuisance helpline that you can call who might be able to fix things.
....on the positive side, at least it's the weekend
This happened last month at the house next to mine...
Alarm went on (and off) all night till the battery finally gave up the ghost at 9am.......
I think BY LAW they have to switch off after 20 mins or something....
In my case the householder was very apologetic and had an engineer round within an hour, he was told it went off due to the extreme cold......

Get a ladder, unscrew bell cover and chop the wires until the noise stops.
You ain't seen me right.
It's the only way, if it's on battery it will keep going off until totally flat. Unless you can get power back on.
Council will have a noise abatement section but they are a bit hit and miss to say the least.
