    Since we don’t own the car and haven’t armed the alarm itself with our own fingers, we’re just speculating how a quick fix would have entailed. If my neighbor or tenant that had a alarm that goes off randomly, I’d yanked the negative lead and say all good because it would annoy the hell out of everyone.

    The horn is under the hood; the alarm control box is usually under the dash board. If you consider disconnection the horn a FIX - then it's fixed. If you try to use your panic alarm or expect the alarm to stop a car thief - that isn't going to happen - No more alarm or flashing lights.
