Deactivate factory theft alarm?

I've noticed something very annyoing about my 99 Eldo. If left unlocked (e.g in the garage), if you then open a door without using the keys (which you don't need since the car is unlocked), an earsplitting alarms goes off. I guess the intention of the designers was to prevent someone from stealing something from your car if you left it unlocked and unwatched for a couple of minutes somewhere.

But this feature is really annoying. I had to run back inside the house, get the keys and turn off that alarm since the neighbors were already getting suspicious.

Is this a malfunction or is it really there by design? Either way, how can I shut it off? I'd rather take the chance of a theft occuring than have to deal with the annoyance all the time...
