Alarm Systems

Since our neighborhood tends to be little sketchy (and we really have not desire"fit in" by putting bars on the windows), our next door neighbor, Wilson the Barber, referred Chris and I to ADP Security company. Apparently, since Wilson told them about us, we get a bitchin' deal on the service.

On a high note, we've really never been too concerned about our neighborhood. Our only setback was when our neighbor's townhome was broken into while she was there one night. That worried me a little. But on the whole, there really hasn't been anything too crazy.

As I already mentioned, we were referred to the security service - the guy knocked on the door and offered a great deal - how could we pass it up?

Begin Scene:
The installer arrives at the townhome on a Thursday night - two hours late - at 8pm.

Downstairs:
He begins work installing the panel and the motion detector upstairs.

Kitchen:
Chris is finishing up some dishes

Third Floor:
Erin is doing the laundry


9pm - Installer is still not done (good thing I taped, Earl, Office & CSI)

10pm - Installer is still not done (taped Grey's Anatomy too - phew!)

10:15pm - Erin and Chris see flashing blue & red lights outside

Front Window
Erin and Chris look out to see a policeman with his gun drawn, pointing at a gentlemen in Wilson's yard next door

Outside
An abundance of yelling spouts from both parties
Another police car shows up

Gentlemen: "Alright alright - I give up! That bullet grazed me!"

1st Policeman handcuffs the Gentleman, 2nd Policeman places him in the backseat.

Inside
The Installer comes running in the house

Installer: "Whoa - what kind of neighborhood do you guys live in?"

Erin & Chris just laugh.



Nothing extreme has happened to us in the year we have lived here. That installer probably thinks this happens everyday. Poor guy.

YAY C.D.
