re: #16 Slumbering Behemoth

A good burglar can get past any security system. Burglary and it’s prevention is all about time. The longer it takes to bypass a system, the less likely a burglar is going to want to bother with it.

Funny y’all should be talking about security systems…I work for an alarm company and I just had to sit through a two-hour legal liability seminar this afternoon (on my day off), watching and listening to what happens when alarm installers/service techs and central station operators don’t do their damn jobs.

I heard audio where an 82-year-old lady was getting attacked by a psycho neighbor (had both ears bitten off and her spine broken) and saw video where a C-store clerk got robbed by a couple of hoods and wound up dead on tape (after he hit a panic button that should have sent a silent alarm, but was misprogrammed and set the siren off, prompting one of those hoods to put a bullet in the clerk’s heart)…pretty hardcore shit.
