Tell them to call your husband to come home. He’ll tell them who you are and things will be fine.

It’s obviously a deviously disguised burglar. Under that frumpy bathrobe… a Ninja costume. Which sets off her bright blond hair.

As if.

Now you know your alarm works properly and the cops respond quickly to it.

They should let her go in the house and show them her driver’s license from her purse – which is inside the house.

But that would be a rather boring finish for this story, so it won’t happen LOL.

Wow, they got there quick. Must’ve already been in the neighborhood. Heh, maybe somebody had complained about the robed lady wandering around the neighborhood and accosting everybody’s doors. :P

Well, I was wrong big time…no whoop whooping…………….well can’t always predictwhooping………

Police don’t pull their guns on unarmed white women wearing bathrobes even if they do set off a bugler alarm. But If this was a black kid, he’d be dead already, even if he was in his own yard.

I’m a petsitter, so I deal with clients’ alarms, and I’ve set off a few (In 30 years) when I haven’t moved fast enough or there’s been another problem. They haven’t called the police. They call the house, and I have to give the code word. If I do, they reset the alarm and don’t call the police. Anyway, who believes that the police got there that fast? Unless they were already in the area after somebody called them because, as scyphl28 said, this lady was acting suspiciously?

And when the alarm goes off, don’t stand there, shut it off ASAP!
