Got a call for a trouble signal on an alarm panel downtown about an hour ago. So I go there and get the problem straightened out, then when I leave I go to start my van up the horn starts honking and the lights start flashing, and the engine shuts back off. Somehow the alarm on it got armed, and I didn't have the ****ing remote with me to disarm it.
So here I am, behind an apartment building at midnight, horn echoing between all the buildings and lights flashing, making a complete ****ing ruckus. So I decide to pop the hood and disconnect the battery to shut the goddamn thing up.
So now what do I do? Guess I call the wife and tell her my own ****ing van thinks I'm stealing it and she needs to get her ass out of bed, grab the remote and head downtown. But of course, she doesn't answer.
I end up hooking the battery back up, hoping that resets the alarm.
**** no, same damn thing. I frantically click the power door locks switches, nothing. Disconnect and reconnect the battery...same result.
So I start wondering who I can call at midnight to come get me, but first I make one last ditch effort. I stick the key in the door lock, and clicked it back and forth several times. Finally...silence and no lights.
Not sure wtf that was all about, but it's safe to say I'm never leaving home without that remote ever again.
