No Need For Car Alarms

Your city may be known for high-tech gadgets to put your heart at ease; like car alarms, fire truck runs, cameras on street poles, etc.. My home town was once known for it's fruit trees, then somehow, the entire county's population grew from around 200,000 in the early 60's, to over 3.3 million when I left in the early 00's. My point is this; car alarms were a standard item on most newer cars in that city, no one ever called the police when they went off, and they were a source of much frustration for those who had to endure the noise of "dozens-a-day" going off from the wind blowing, or trucks going by. Now, where I live, you can't get someone to steal your car; or, for that matter, give away the ones they no longer want, which are now considered a source of beauty.
