After the daylight break in last week I determined that it would be a good idea to have a proper alarm systems here at my house/office, especially since we have so much equipment. Accordingly the existing minimal system has been vastly upgraded to include perimeter alarms, motion detectors, breakage alarms, laser tripwires, 4000 volt iron bars, landmines, broken glass embedded in concrete and infrared monitoring by satellite. To make this even more efficient, the dogs and I have all been micro-chipped so that we don’t set off any of the alarms. Since we are American citizens, and have nothing to hide, we have provided a direct monitoring link to the FBI in Washington so that may can help protect us as well. Now I feel really safe!
The truth is that I did get a system upgraded, but not quite to the extent mentioned above–if any malefactors are reading this now they will have to figure out which is true and which is not.
As this was installed just yesterday, I guess we had a moral obligation to set the alarm off first thing this morning. Our housekeeper obliged us. Apparently she was a little bit late in entering her access code, and the alarm was triggered. It was only on for a second or two before she entered her code. Nevertheless, the alarm company called Jimbo’s cell phone to make sure it was alright. I slept through the whole thing–which is very comforting. It is nice to know that burglars will not disturb my sleep so long as they remain downstairs.
Of course, my biggest fear is that they will be after my body… I hear blubber fetches a good price these days…
In all fairness, the alarm apparently only rang for two or three seconds, and the dogs were already down stairs to greet the housekeeper. Had the alarm continued, Harry, my Westie, has been trained to awaken me, which he would’ve done by digging on me, or if necessary even biting my nose to wake me up. Fortunately, for the sake of my nose, that was not necessary.
Friends of mine in Carrasco were broken into three times last year in spite of sophisticated alarms and bars =alcatraz. Here in the balneario Iporá in Tacuarembo no probs at all. However its advisable to employ Manuel as a gardener - his clients are never burgled
