So far, knock wood, the only thing that has happened around here is kids knocking over mail boxes. I'd have an alarm system too if we'd of had robberies around us.

The house on the west side of me is owned by snow birds that only come down for a few weeks at a time. A few years ago the police came to my door asking if I knew anything about the crack heads that broke into the house and had lived there for over a month stealing and selling everything in the house.

Summer before last the huge house on the east side of me that is owned by an elderly gay rich couple was broken into while they were at their summer home and thousands of dollars in antiques and art were stolen.

In both cases none of us had any idea that these house had been robbed since at the time they didn't have alarm systems. Now just about all the houses around here have alarm systems.

I live in an upscale neighborhood but this also means that my neighborhood is a prime target for burglaries.

It's also nice having the smoke and fire sensors that come with an alarm system.

Might be why nothing happens here I live in a neighborhood that is mostly manufactured homes...there is only one other stick built home on my block. My neighbor on one side is a single wide trailer, the other side vacant lot. Redneck doesn't begin to describe some of the yards around here that are full of old cars, trash, outdoor boxing rings, ect. Hell, our house when we bought it had a boat that was beached on the ground, piles of scrap material, and the back end of a pick-up that was turned into a trailer.
