HIGH-PRICED ALARMS: The Fullerton police are tired of accidental wolf cries. Police Chief Philip A. Goehring says 98% of commercial and residential alarms they responded to last year were misfires--4,800 false alarms.

After that, it’s $50 for a false alarm, with a scale up to $200 for future alarms. Eleven cities in Orange County now have false-alarm fines.
