The problem with moth traps in the car... (1 Viewer)

Having cursed the neighbours for a car alarm going off during the night, I actually found it was my new car, which unlike the previous one has an alarm instead of an immobiliser. So twice I have been down to my car during the night, looking for intruders, but the car was empty and untouched.
Then it struck me. A moth was flying around in the car, and it was this that had set off the alarm.
No matter how careful I am at putting the mothtraps away in the back, with no moths apparently attached, I often suddenly get one buzzing around as I am driving along.
Oh well, off to find the handbook, so I can lock and immobilise the car, but not have the alarm set off by moths....
