    From what I've seen, the sliding patio door is often the weakest link.
    Very easy to get past these
    The overuse of the glass sliding door in such a cold country just boggles the mind

    Where U living Daegerty?.Obviously not in Dublin.;)

    Hang on a second there and I'll make a list of all the burglar alarm-free areas for you to pillage.

    Once I was staying in Dublin and there was one going off all day. Don't understand why people put em up in Dublin; most don't know their neighbours, many will report their neighbours to the Law for doing the slightest thing not by the book. Feck it a lot of the time they won't even say hai to them while walking down the street. Yet they expect them to risk running into a bunch of burglars and stop them or at least call the guards after some annoying alarm goes off


    and those Eircom ones - they could empty the house and strip all the paint off the walls before someone's sent out lest Eircom lose a few cents in revenue sending someone out when there's no need.

    i'd always have a look into the neighbour's house - just a look over the back wall and in through the front windows - might be useless but that's what I'd do. interesting to hear that this is a ploy.

    I am currently out of work and live in an area where, during working hours, an alarm is going off every few minutes. I have an alarm system fitted myself and make sure it's always armed when i'm not around. It's annoying though that there are so many faulty alarms around. When i do hear an alarm i generally ignore it, however, if the alarm sounds as if it's near, i will look out the window to see if it's a neighbors alarm going off for no reason or if it's actually going off because something is happening.

    So long story short, alarm in the distance, i ignore it, alarm up close, i will check it out. When so many alarms are going off though, you can't check them all out. To even go around dropping notes in peoples letter boxes to say you think their alarm is faulty would become a full time job. It's a weigh up really, if it's not close, i just turn up the music :P
