Re: Commercial Alarm - help

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've never had an unexplained false alarm on my systems...first house 10
years second house 11 years. Any false alarm has always been by user
error...letting the dog out, burning the bacon, etc.

If someone attempts a break in while I'm home Mr. Colt and I will greet
them.
