Re: Which system is better?

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Similar case in FL probably 15 years ago...local system with false alarm
problems (owner didn't keep it in good shape)...alarm went off the old fart
from across the street heard the siren and went over and got shot dead by
burglar.

I stopped putting in exterior sirens after that (we don't do local installs
anyway)....we don't do exterior sirens unless the buyer really really really
wants one.
