There I was checking at my neighbour's house after hearing his home alarm system ringing on my way home from work. The cops had arrived to find me standing over a long heavy duty screw-driver that had obviously been the tool used for the attempted break-in.

It certainly looked like I was implicated and I'm sure that's how the cop saw it. I was clearly in the frame (no pun intended). How was I going to explain this?

Well fortunately for me I didn't need to do a lot of explaining because right behind the policeman by I'd say ten seconds walked my neighbour John. Thank God! Boy was I glad to see him.

At that point I explained my presence John confirmed my identity the cop did his bit made out his report and was about to leave. John said to him I don't know what good these this home alarms system is I have just been visited by a burglar.

Then the cop in his wisdom replied; well he didn't get in did he? And you didn't lose anything did you? And at least you know you have friends looking out for you now, and if you hadn't had an alarm going off I wouldn't be here and you can bet I'll be watching this ...
... area in the future, so count your blessings.

John just looked at me and said I guess that says it all really-c'mon in Bill and have a coffee, and we did.

You see the point of this is all though John had a burglar visit his house and nobody seemed to take notice actually lots of people did. There was me, there was the cop. I found out later that two other neighbours had called it in and at least three other people had called each other and discussed what they should do.

We also need to understand that just because you have a home alarm system it doesn't mean you are not going to get a visit from a burglar. But what it does mean is that your chances of avoiding loss and an unpleasant experience are greatly reduced by having a home alarm system installed and in good working order.

There is no foolproof system but you greatly improve your chances of not being burgled or the burglar taking off when he hears the alarm or even walking by your house when he sees your home alarm system and so he chooses your neighbours house instead of yours.

Modern home alarm systems are easy to install or have installed. They are relatively inexpensive. They give you confidence when leaving your home for a spell. And you can always upgrade them if you have a little more money to spend in the future.

You can shop around in the high street or find plenty of sellers on the internet. The choice is up to you. Give your self the peace of mind you deserve and get your self a home alarm system
