Neighbor Dispatches Martian Warrior in Response to Annoying Chicago Car Alarm

Car alarms are meant to be ... alarming. Car alarms that go on for more than an hour while you’re trying to sleep ... annoying.

Wednesday night, the denizens of the 2200 block of West Huron Street in Ukrainian Village were abruptly jarred awake by a neighbor’s car alarm. Why car owner could sleep through it is anyone’s guess.

To guard against this happening again, someone left a sternly worded note — and a Martian warrior — on the offender’s car: “Dear a------ ... Your car alarm went off for 1 1/2 hours last night. You cost the neighborhood REM sleep, growth hormone AND cortisol production (which is highest at 5 a.m. and essential for life!) You basically killed us. Thanks a lot.”

Taped to the note was a tiny Martian warrior prince, a gesture both nerdy and menacing. And how did the car owner respond?! Click through to DNAinfo Chicago to read her reply.
