Re: the police was dispatched to ... the wrong house

So it's not possible that Joe DIY in another part of the world fat fingered
an ADT panel and is now sending signals to Mary Smith's panel?

| Exactly!  If the dealer who bushed this up
| reads this newsgroup he's probably trying
| to find a way to blame his mistake on some
| "fat fingered DIYer" rather than admit he
| screwed up and fix the problem.  This is
| yet another for the homeowner reason to
| consider DIY.  At least if he makes a mistake
| he'll know who did it.

| BTW, in the past week I sold nine Vista-128FB
| systems, one VISTAKEY access control
| system with a Vista-250, several commercial
| security alarms and nearly a dozen residential
| alarms.  Every one was to a first time DIYer.

| number of ELK-M1G Gold systems.
