Test my theory: unscrew the indicator lens cap on the front wing of the car, remove the indicator lamp and shove a paper clip or metal hair grip in the socket, this will short the cicuit out and blow the fuse, killing the supply to the alarm.
If this doesn't work, prise open the bonnet and simply disconnect the battery.
