I don't know what the world is coming to, first hamsters and now bears...

Pics.... We need pics

Well at least I put something on, after having spent all day sitting around naked while posting on KB!

Maybe its time we start insisting on webcams so we can see members posting.

Way...too...much...information!

I can imagine that some KBers would be pleasant to view naked while others would be the equivalent of having acid thrown on your retinas...

Our neighbour always has a pen and paper ready (she's retired) and, when our alarm goes off, she watches our drive for any vehicle leaving so she can get the details of it. I wouldn't expect her to check out the property since she's elderly and her safety needs to be considered.

If it was Cajun and I that heard another alarm going off, we'd most likely take a look at the property from a distance at first, and then head towards the place (noisily) if we saw something dodgey happening. I figure it's better to interupt them in the act than to leave them to it.

I can't look around the back of his house because his gate is locked. There has been no suspicious activity that I have seen, but there are plenty of ways out of his property (eg over the back fence into the next street) that would mean anyone could get out without me seeing them.

What would you do?

Call it in, I'd do it for you too. In fact; what IS your number?

Oh my....the vision is just way tooooo scary. So posting naked and having imaginery gay bear friends is the norm for KB members

Good on you for taking time to do something and calling the police....better safe than hear the next day the house had been trashed.

If we're cracking open bears I'll have a black Russian. Hahahaha, that'd be a Kodiak moment...

Oh, he's done it again! Fallen off his chair.

Our neighbour is a busy-body, so he checks out the neighbours' alarms, or suspicious activities - he's caught one burglar in the ROW across the road. Our alarm was annoying for a while - had a faulty sensor. Luckily (?) a lightning storm a while back fried a panel in the main box, and another sensor, so we had the thing overhauled for free to a better one (old model no longer available). Both the old one and the new one phone me on my cellphone if triggered, but the new one also allows me to phone it and perform some controls remotely, like resetting it.

By the way MotoGirl - what's up with those MENTAL roundabouts with traffic lights out your way?

First there were traffic lights AND roundabouts, then just roundabouts, now they've combined the two! It doesn't work! It's hard enough either watching the lights or where you're driving, but to have to watch both AND the traffic is blardy hard work! ANd it's mental having people stop in the middle of the roundabout because the light's changed.
Whatever is Roundabouta coming too? More things to confuse the poor old ducks that retire there...

Good for you checking it out. I remember a house alarm close by here that went off and sounded for 15 mins, I am not a close neighbour (cant see the house) then it stopped. Couple of hours later it happened again, then again, then again. All friggen weekend long this thing was going off. Rang the local security company (we dont have a manned station here) and they sad, yes we know all about it, nothing is wrong.

Turned out this idiot went away for the weekend, left his catflap open, so pussy could have something to eat. He did not have pet sensitive sensors so yes it went off everytime the cat farted in the house. When questioned this bloke actually had the hide to say, yes I know they are not pet sensitive, but I could not leave the cat locked out all weekend.
