Instant advice required!!

eskimo · 20-03-2008 11:20pm #1

Hey I need fairly instant advice and this forum seems to be one of the busiest here!

There's a car on the road around the corner from me making an EXTREMELY loud noise. It sounds like someone has their hand pushed firmly on the horn and won't let go! It's been going for the past 20 minutes and nobody's going to get any sleep. I checked it out and there's no-one in the car. I assume the strong winds had something to do with it. It's seriously loud!! As I was checking it out a man from one of the houses where it's parked came out and had a look and told me it's not belonging to anyone living around there.

What do you do? Ring the Garda station? The county council? It's unbearably loud and if left alone it'll be going all night!

Gardai (not 999/112 ¬_¬) and explain the situation.

RedXIV · 20-03-2008 11:21pm

garda first i presume, they can find out the owners and probably get it towed if needs be

Smash the window, get in and fiddle around.

Take out your tent and move to the nearest field,problem well and truly solved!(and don't touch the sides when you wake up or the rain might get through).

WoollyRedHat · 20-03-2008 11:33pm

Is this car in Finglas? I've heard they are quite troublesome.

From past experience on similar situations, I doubt the Gardai will do anything tbh. The house alarm next to my boyfriends place went off for three days and despite my boyfriend and his housemates contacting them repeatedly nothing was done.

One of the guys ended up breaking into the house himself to shut the thing up.:cool: (This is not a recommendation)

WoollyRedHat · 21-03-2008 12:28am

Are you sure that's not how it went off in the first place?

leninbenjamin · 21-03-2008 12:31am

i recommend you see a doctor

flanum · 21-03-2008 12:58am

smack the front wheels(tyres) with a sledge, it should set off the airbags and unlatch the doors, when ya open the door, open the bonnet.. disconnect the battery!
