Wait, whats the smell?

We went to the beach yesterday.  Not much in it self, but the trip back was a little interesting.

When we got to the beach, I was the last one out of the car, so I had to lock the doors.  Funny thing was the doors locked but the alarm never beeped to say it was set.  This seemed a little strange, but I figgured maybe I just didn’t here it because I was far away.

On the way home from the beach, I heard this clicking noise.  It sounded alot like one of the blinkers were on, or maybe a rock stuck in the tire.  We checked everything we could and it didn’t go away.  So we pulled over to see if we could find it.  Thats when my sister said “Wait, whats the smell?”  It seems something started smoking under the steering wheel and was giving off a burt plastic smell.  There is nothing quite like being in a car that is on, and seeing smoke pour out of it.   We traced the smoke down to a little box, that we assume is the car alarm.  Pulled all the wires from it and set it aside.  It seems that box has been having some trouble for a while now, and just happened to kick the bucket while we were in the car.  Good thing we were there to stop it, or we would have one less car today.
