Brooklyn - Alarming Racket
Brooklyn - More people complain about car alarms than in any other borough despite the fact it has only half as many cars as Queens.
Last year, there are 638,948 registered cars in Queens - and just 363,340 in Brooklyn.
"Brooklynites are never shy, care deeply about their communities and largely live in densely populated areas, so it's no surprise that we speak up about car-alarm problems," said Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz.
Paul White, executive director of Transportation Alternatives, agrees.
"There is growing public awareness that car alarms don't work People hear them blaring and they just walk on by. They're not effective and they're irksome."
And no borough knows that more than Brooklyn. Last year, 5,849 cars were stolen in Brooklyn, more than in any other borough.

Maybe NYPD/Brooklyn needs to place a much greater emphasis on car stealing so that cars don't need alarms.
