I've noticed that car alarms that go off for no good reason seem to be back. Those used to be a thing, but they'd mostly disappeared. But I keep hearing them in parking lots, with nobody anywhere near the car. At least they shut off after a while. That was legislated back in the 1980s.

Then one day a installation mechanic told me the sensor had various calibration settings. You could get the trigger to be as sensitive as you wanted. At times a rodent or a crow could trigger the alarm.
