Default Dropping the monitoring of the home alarm?


wrote in message
Had that happen last year to my neighbor and a couple of other houses
here. They cruise around neighborhoods and enter unlocked cars
sitting in the driveway or take things from open garages. Neigbor
lost DVD player, CD's, etc from his car. Also, any car with a
portable GPS/navigation sytem or evidence of one, like a mounting
bracket on the windshield is a high target for break-in when parked
anywhere.

Good reason not to lock your car. I don't keep anything of value in it and
I've had my car broken into twice. Total loss was a $1 can of oil. Other
cars parked near me had broken windows, scratched door frames etc. My
brother had his convertible top slashed for a $5 pair of sunglasses. I have
a GPS but I won't walk 10' away from the car if it is inside. Run into the
store and it goes in my pocket.
