cats set off our house alarm
We have an alarm system with glass break sensors. Peter and I had just gone
upstairs to bed and the alarm went off. We think Sam was chaseing Cinnamon and she jumped on the back of a chair in the living room and then onto the half wall. I have picutes on it and when we came downstairs to see why the alarm went off 2 pictures were on the floor. We had to call the alarm company to report a false alarm. All the cats had big eyes after all the noise. We have an outside speaker for the alarm.

What my parents hadn't told the neighbour, was although the house alarm could be switched off in the house, if the the alarm went off, it was automatically notified by the alarm company to the local police and the Embassy. If the Embassy didn't get a call from my dad verifying he'd switched off the alarm, the Embassy protocol was to notify the State department....who followed *their* protocol, which was to send the secret service to the address to deal with a potential "diplomatic situation". My parents came home, to find a firetruck, 4 policeman, 2 police cars and 4 secret service guys all outside and around the house. Robbie was asleep on their bed! Helen M |

Did you tell the alarm company it was the cats' fault? Ginger-lyn |

I told the alarm company a picture fell. Not that the cats knocked it down.

cats set off our house alarm
When we first purchased our house we had plumbers here working on the
kitchen and putting in the pipes for a half bath. We were not living here yet but, had the alarm system in. We had the plumbers choose a code they could remember and I think they had a key to the house. They showed up to work one day and had problems with turning off the alarm. Every time the dropped or banged something the alarm went off. Finally they stopped for lunch. They were sitting at the table in front of the kitchen windows. They put the shade up and there were 2 cops out there. They had to explain the whole story to them and I think we were called to be sure the men had permission to be in our house. Good think the plumbers had a sence of humor. -- Ann in Connecticut see my cats at http://www.flickr.com/photos/ann791/sets/ read Sam's blog at http://kittens-3.blogspot.com/ * * * "outsider" wrote in message ... wrote in : On Apr 21, 9:00 pm, "Ann" wrote: We have an alarm system with glass break sensors.
