[QUOTE="epags, post: 2220891, member: 105138"] I will see your bet and raise you. Also have ADT. Have a new (used) house. Locked every thing up, shut the doors between rooms and drove to the Grand Canyon from California. I am in Utah about to go to dinner at a very nice resturan with my spouse, it is 7PM, I get a call from a neighbor (who has my trip itinerary). My house alarm has gone off, the neighborhood is on alert. Neighbor calls police after checking the windows and doors. He and the police find no sign of break in. I call the alarm company and they deactivate the alarm until I get home. "Enjoyed" an expensive dinner since there is no 'apparent reason' to drive 725 miles. At the end of the trip, I get home and find that one of the interior doors was open which, in turn, had set off the motion detector. Seems the old house's doors closed but was held closed only by the friction of the latch on the latch plate so the door as not latched shut Moved the latch and fixed the problem. Problem solved...NOT. The rest of the story: On another trip I, unhappily, discovered there was a second door with the same problem . (fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me) The police department threatened me with a heafty fine if it happened again within one year. Spend the weekend making sure every door closed and latched properly. [/QUOTE]
