We had a rash of these types of burglaries a few years ago. Mittens, sunglasses, phone charger cords and other low $ value items were taken from many neighborhood cars for a period of time. We heard from the sheriffs that it could be a type of initiation game requiring kids to collect a quantity of items to obtain entry in a gang or club.

People don't report auto alarms because they think the police will blow them off. If the police are saying they will respond, I bet people will start calling.

People do not respond to car alarms because the alarms go off all by themselves!! Next time your out and about see how many car alarms go off and if people come running!!
