We upgraded the already installed All Island Alarm system to have motion sensors. The previous owner had a pressure alarm on the front porch. After all of that, we find that we are rarely both out of the house at the same time and even when we do go out together, we don't set the alarm. There are some burglaries in our general area that seem to happen in waves until the perpetrators are caught.
We are considering discontinuing the service, however. It's somewhat like insurance; you're not sure if you're going to need the service, but you pay for it just in case...
Our neighbors have a dog who works overtime, barking when people drive into our driveway (we're back-to-back)!
The funniest thing about our alarm system is that we knew what it sounded like before it was reactivated. Our neighbors have an African Grey Parrot who blurts out our alarm sound every now and then, along with dozens of other sounds and voices.
(Johnnycake, it's not necessary to quote a whole posting if all you are doing is thanking the poster. Addressing their user name will let them know what you're thanking them for. It's only a minor bother, though. I just find myself reading through the post again, looking for your comment on a specific point in the post.)
