Just an FYI... We had a monitored system in Tulsa for years and the only time the alarm went off that I did not know why and suspected a possible break in, the alarm company called and I told them to send the police. Then I left work, drove across town to home. I went in and saw that the door going from the house to the garage was open. I assume it was not shut good and blew open with the drafts from the garage. I looked around the house and messed around a little bit and decided to go back to work. I was on my way to the truck when I saw a Tulsa police car creeping down the street. I decided that if the Tulsa police do not respond any quicker than that to a home intrusion alarm, then a monitored system was worthless and dropped the service.
