Yes, our home is alarmed...cut the phone lines? That triggers the alarm. Found that out the hard way when fence installers dug a hole cutting the line. The system senses the voltage drop if lines are cut, or even if lines are bypassed. Not their fault...the phone comany "finder" service marked the location wrong. I also have motion detectors, etc. Don't wish to go into details beyond that.

Best alarm story I heard was G Gordon Liddy describing his alarm system to a radio show caller. "My alarm is silent, will wake me...then a panel tells me where the intruder is. If he's moving through the house, I will set up an ambush & kill him. If he remains in one room, I will go to where he is and kill him."

Caller asked if he was serious. Liddy explained he was. This because if he merely wounded the guy, the guy's story would be that he was looking for mother Teresa and just happened to wander into the wrong place. But, if he killed the intruder, there would only be one story for the cops and that would be his story.

You know, I believed him.
