Desensitized

Auto makers have gone great lengths to ensure that cars are not stolen or broken in to with the advent of theft deterrent security systems and aftermarket vehicle alarms. But when is the last time any of us actually paid any attention to, or even cared about, a car's audible plea for help? In fact, a good portion of us find it somewhat amusing watching an owner struggle to silence a shouting car. (Sometimes, the owner shouts back.) How ironic that these system activations designed with the intention of alerting people to a wrong doing (so that they may take corrective measures to catch the crooks), have become so commonplace that nobody even turns their heads to see what is going on. I feel SO much safer knowing that my vehicle too has one of these built in alert devices for the security of my car and it's belongings.
