Headache...

My neighbors have managed to have an alarm going off for the last half hour or so. It sounds like a school fire bell. Not even a car alarm, a fire bell. We called the police after 15 minutes figuring that it was one of those type of things where everyone assumes someone else will call. Someone had called. The police showed up in our parking lot rather than the neighbors. They walked over to the fence dividing the two apartment complexes and asked the guy what was going on. The guys said something about the alarm not stopping and asked the police if they were maintenance. I'm guessing the guys managed to set off their own house alarm or something and haven't figured out how to turn it off. I'd also like to guess that they're either drunk or stupid. I'd say drunk from the normal number of cans of KeyStone I see in their yard.

This constant alarm has given me the start of a headache....

And yea, this is the third post of the day, but I figured something like this was 'exciting' enough to be worth posting.

EDIT: After 50 minutes of alarm a FIRE TRUCK showed up and turned it off within 30 seconds of arriving... who the hell makes a fire alarm that the only one who can turn it off is the fire department? Shouldn't the police have the key to those things at the very least?

Because they, as most people here, don't own the building. They didn't choose what fire alarm to put in. And I don't know.
