There are plenty of times when I wish the car alarm horn was mounted to
the head of the car's owner. Pointed toward him.

Barely-related issue: recent local news story about a string of car
break-ins reported that dozens of neighborhood cars had been broken into
over two nights. "Many of them had been left unlocked," said the news
announcer, meaningfully.

The subtext? "The rest had broken windows."
