Flatening the tires still leaves you with the annoyance. Open the hood
(either through destructive or non-destructive entry into the passenger
compartment or with a crowbar) and disconnect the battery.

Another option is to crawl under the car where the horn is and cut the
wires. (reaching the plug to merely disconnect it is unlikely)

She should have used a silencer.

Back in the late 80s when cheap car alarms were first coming onto the
market (and my hypothesis is that the cheap ones are most of the
problem), the car of someone at the end of the block (gone for the
weekend) went into constant-alarm mode one hot Saturday afternoon.
After we and who knows how many others complained, the police came.
They had it silenced within a minute or so in just the way you
described -- whoever had the most skills or just drew the short straw
lay down on the pavement, reached up... silence.

It occurred to me that if the cops can disable an $49.95 car alarm in
a minute, your average street urchin can probably do it in 30 seconds
and a professional car booster can figure out how to keep it from
going off in the first place.

In general I don't seem to hear car alarms wailing for hours over
nothing quite as much as I used to. Maybe the fad has passed and the
cheap ones have broken, or perhaps the cars they were in have been
restructured for the beer containment sector of the economy? Or
have I just learned to tune out all the false alarms? Even the one
in the neighborhood that used to helpfully remind everyone to wheel
the garbage can out to the curb on Tuesday morning, because it was so
oversensitive the approach of the garbage truck would set it off,
seems to be gone now.
