Didn't mean to set you off, there. I was mainly commenting based on
newspaper articles I have read in several different cities about how
local PDs found home alarms to be an expensive PITA. More than one of
the articles stated that if the alarm company DIDN'T talk to a human (or
get a duress alarm from a portable sender), PD would NOT do an emergency
response. Rate of false alarms was just way too high.

But yeah, my direct personal experience is limited. I don't have enough
toys, or live in a bad enough area, to need an alarm system. I have
helped rip a few out over the years, and found the technology slightly
interesting.
