Speedemon, the alarm system was older, came with the house. Will be upgraded. Was monitored, but after an event where the cats set off the alarm, and if a call was made, no one answered so the police should have been sent - and weren't, we stopped that. Makes sense to me tho, either the alarm will scare them or won't.

And no fake save our pets sticker, the one there is real. But the new fake dog will take up residence this week, via bowls and a chew toy.

A good thing to come from this is some of the neighbors are gonna get together and create our own lil crime watch. As there are only 9 houses on this street, and it's a cul-de-sac, it will be little. Still, most of us have military experience in the Airborne, so t'will will be exciting.

More and more I am thinking it was the workmen from across the street. Not sneaker prints on the door, but work boots.

And come Monday, my truck goes in the garage while DW is at work. Let's see a repeat.
