The other night my house alarm goes off at 5:16 A.M. I was shocked and jumped up out of a deep sleep and did my best to run out to the front of the house. Mind you with no protection or weapon. I've never had that happen before. I was awake at 4:00 A.M. and normally if I hadn't set the alarm I wouldn't bother but this time for some reason I did. The alarm company called and I said I didn't know why it went off but I didn't see anything amiss. I had forgotten about a side door downstairs that could have been compromised. The next day I called the alarm company and asked what door if any had been tampered with. He said the kitchem door in the back. That is the slicing glass doors. So I guess someone DID actually try to break in. Dear Lord how scary! Now I leave the back light on that will light if someone comes on the sundeck and I use the bar that goes across it. I have a feeling who did it but don't really know. It is this guy that"s been cleaning my yard (should be just raking but he keeps doing things I don't ask him to do for extra money) The last time he was here I told him to wait and I was going to add another $20 and went in to get it. Then he came and saw the area I was standing in. That's why I think it might be him. Plus he always uses that door because he knows I have trouble going downstairs to the front door.

Thank you Audrey. I will.
That certainly is scary when you are alone and helpless. Make sure you keep the bar on the slider. You may want to think about hiring a different lawn service, this way you won't have to worry about letting him in to get paid.
