lubylou12 Â Â 10 #49 Posted March 27, 2010 The posters wondering why car alarms where sounding after power cut, If streets were in darkness, could the alarms be caused by unsavoury characters taking advantage of the situation and trying to pinch cars? :hihi:probably in shiregreen, lol just kidding Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

nerd   10 #52 Posted March 27, 2010 The posters wondering why car alarms where sounding after power cut, If streets were in darkness, could the alarms be caused by unsavoury characters taking advantage of the situation and trying to pinch cars?  I assume that is a joke? The power on my road was only off for a few seconds, so they would have to have been very well prepared thieves! No, the alarms all went off at exactly the same time as the power went off, that was why I found it strange. I guess it was just one of those things Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I guess it was just one of those things  More than likeley is if the distruption was caused by a blow out of electricity it could have sent some sort of shockwave out that triggered the alarms especially if it was under ground.
