In Lubbock, Texas it is legal for a person to shoot a car whose car alarm has been going off continually for more than 5 minutes. This law led to a series of car shootings when a band of green activists walked around town and set off car alarms on purpose so that they could then shoot them and lessen the number of cars on the road. The group shot 37 cars before an emergency injunction was issued to stop this behavior. None of the owners of the cars were reimbursed by their insurance companies.
