Man Arrested for Shooting Out Car Alarm
Man Arrested for Shooting Out Car Alarm
Thursday, August 11, 2005

SIMI VALLEY, Calif. — A man annoyed by a noisy car alarm fired at
least three bullets into a Toyota Camry, silencing the alarm and
bringing out police who hauled him away in handcuffs, authorities
said.

David Owen Rye, 48, was arrested and booked for investigation of
reckless discharge of a firearm and felony vandalism, Sgt. John
Adamczyk said. Rye allegedly told officers he grabbed his handgun and
went out to put a stop to the car alarm.

The owner of the Camry, a sailor whose ship the USS Theodore Roosevelt
(search) just returned from an eight-month cruise, was visiting a
friend when he heard the gunfire at about 10 p.m. Tuesday, KCAL-TV
reported.

"I mean, that's not a safe guy. I mean, you get upset over an alarm,
over a noise like that, [then] there's some little kids making too
much noise and he decides to do something awful," sailor Nicholas
Moreno, 25, said.

Police were called to the Yosemite Avenue apartment building and Rye
was ordered out of his apartment by an officer with a bullhorn. A Los
Angeles Police Department (search) helicopter also responded and Rye
was arrested.

Neighbor Ken Davis said he heard gunshots and looked outside to see
Rye holding a gun.

"It was little scary," Davis said. "I didn't know what kind of mood he
was in. I didn't want to say anything to him."

Of course he shouldn't have done that, but I can certainly understand the
sentiment. When I lived in Florida last year, in an apartment, there were
about 4 different cars whose alarms went off when some stupid twit would
drive through with blaring bass on their car stereos. I think alarms are
pretty much useless, since nobody's going to lift a finger to stop a thief
from stealing your heap. I know there are way more sophisticated ones that
aren't so sensitive, but I find alarms to be nothing more than yet more noise
pollution. Has anyone here ever seen where a car alarm actually stopped a
car theft?

The best way to keep your 'ride' is to drive something no one wants to
steal....

Like a '92 Corolla Wagon

or an Echo....

BTW did you see the Toyota they tried to kill in Top Gear the other night.
Dropped it off a building as the building was imploded. The connection to
the battery came loose. They reconnected the battery and it still started!

Being local, we got to see the tv reports about this. My initial
reaction to the story was to laugh. Then I immediately told myself,
"Badgirl.", in between bouts of laughter.

I'm sorry, but the underlying humor in this stunt was just too ripe.

Logic states that the only people who give a sh*t about a tripped
burglar alarm (car or house) are the owner, members of their immediate
family, and neighbors who are friends or in an active Neighborhood
Watch program.

Nobody else is going to do much more - except maybe stay way back
and get a description of the thief, and tell the cops which direction
they drove off. But I wouldn't put money on even that much. More
likely, they close the windows and turn up the TV or stereo, it's that
whole dumb "I'm not getting involved" mindset.
