Attempted Break In

I had all the backups that you guys are talking about and it didn't help. All I did now was shorten the delay so that if it happens again, they won't have time to get to the basement before the system goes off. That, and I had a steel frame door installed. I think the door is the best investment of all. It would not be easy to kick it in anymore. Your "smoking" comment is kinda rude dude. No need to get hostile. Just having a friendly discussion here aren't we?

This is a typical home alarm.. a decent install will have the cell module inside this box. Thus box if installed properly should take more than 30 seconds to break into.. UNLESS someone has the key. The keys are common (one key fits all units) also to get to your unit in 30 seconds (Wich BTW is a very common timer) they had to know EXACTLY where your unit is located. You did use a certified installer right? Not some guy you never heard of...?

As for alarm systems, most use a battery backup not only at the control panel but also in the sensors.

Yes, I know. I was being a bit of a smart a--. Cool videos though.

Boy - I'm sure glad that I don't live in Ontario - it is much safer down here - breakins are rare cause they can and will get shot if they try it - it ain't worth it - getting shot over a TV set - I bet there more breakins and stealing going on per capita up there than down here -

You cannot shoot them if you are not there.

Most breakins are planned and done when nobody is home, home invasions are very rare in this country.

Make it known to your neighbours that you will be away, keep anything that can shelter a breakin cut back (no hendges in front of your front door) and keep things closed and locked.

I guess if you never leave your house like a panic room then you are ok, I don't feel that I live in that sort of situation.

The reason I need a gun is to shoot the groundhogs and rabbits that get into the garden, oh, and in case of bears getting at my livestock.

I wouldn't recommend breaking into Trimmer's house if he were. home . Years of having to restrain himself might explode. :)

Then there's the folk who steal your dog - happened to me.

ROFLMB0 - Thanks for my laugh for the day Joe. You have a sense of humor for sure.

I live out in the country - have a pretty long driveway and have a chain across it near the road - so nobody drives up to my house - I always make it look like I'm home - if I'm inside and someone walks up from the chain and knocks on the door I don't answer it - that way I see what they are up to - if they happen to break in - SURPRISE -

Some interesting stats - per 100,000 - break and enter - Canada 954 - US 728 - motor vehicle theft - Canada 521 - US 414 - arson Canada 45 - US 32 - so you see - all is almost quiet on the southern front -
