I just can't imagine in this day and age there aren't stand alone wireless systems that would notify authorities and/or me and my wife if they were breached.
See the following thread?http://wildguzzi.com/forum/index.php?topic=74077.0
There's bound to be something like that. I don't know the best way to find one that doesn't involve a fanatical commission salesman, though. I'll be interested in seeing the results. I was on jury duty last week, and its shocking how much predatory human garbage there is, these days, walking the streets and riding the roads. Your friend did well by "holding the man at gunpoint till the police arrived." The law here doesn't require me to take that risk, and I probably wouldn't have ...Lannis
Burglers tell their cell mates about your house.Address, etc.And they may wait about 6 months till all the stolen stuff has been replaced with new stuff (insurance).Cell mates know where to go for that nice new stuff
So you would put the guy down? Hmmm... I do know one thing, the police can't protect you from unlawful entry,robbery or any other similar crime as it occurs..You need to be proactive...
I would suggest a visit to the local police station, chat up the local chief on response time. Could be that even if ADT (Whatever) call them, they take 10 minutes to get to your place and usually I suspect the thieves are gone in 5. You are however justified in the situation as described when the burg hides in the house, that could turn serious. Compare the insurance costs with and without alarm systems, you might break even. Best of luck, I reply on nosey neighbors as only the cars seem to get hit very often. second the dog idea, and I apologize as I do not remember if that cutie who wandered in is still with you.
Fk!!! Sorry for all you who have to consider any of the above options. I really can't fathom having to live in an environment like that. So totally foreign. We had a local woman killed by a grizzly that broke through their front picture window. And a bicyclist chased by a wolf until a car steered the animal off the rack. But those are bizarre once off's .... to be broken into twice in a year? So, so sorry for you folks. We do have crime up here... just nothing like that.
Lannis , I can find no evidence that would suggest that is true . Dusty
I'm not going to try to convince you (or anyone). If I produce statistics or data, then the source of the data will be questioned. If I produce personal experience from my many friends in the UK, then it will just be "anecdotal" data. So (like me and everyone else), believe what you like. It doesn't really matter, just something to think about.Lannis
That is the lamest defense of unsubstantiated bullshit I ever heard.
Yes , no , maybe ??? What was the original question Bip ? ::) Oh yeah , what oil to use for cooking bad guys ;D Sorry for that :-[ Check for local security companies , they seem to do the best job . Dusty
Sorry, my experience has been limited to troubleshooting commercial security systems that habitually send in false alarms to the cop shop. The cops give you the first one or two, and then they start fining the business for false reporting. After a few more they stop responding to calls until you report in that it's fixed. At that point you might as well have the stickers in the window and nothing installed. The credit union across the lake alarms whenever a big, rumbly vehicle goes by. The audible bell and rotating red light continue for most of the wee hours on account of, like a car alarm, nobody reacts anymore.The problem behind the scenario is that the systems are installed and maintained by the security company. If they screw up the installation or a component goes bad they have an obligation to respond to the problem. I get involved when the security company doesn't meet that obligation in a timely manner, which is a puzzlingly frequent thing.
:PDusty, I hear Lannis has a million unclaimed dollars hidden in his basement. I'll drive ya over there, drop ya off, and speed the getaway. All you gotta do is sneak in and get it. What time? ;) ;D
