Just had a knock at the door!

[Dirty Boy]

It's 22:20 and two older chaps just knocked on my door stating...

"We were just doing a neighbourhood patrol, and noticed your alarm flashing, and wanted to check you weren't being burgled"

I thanked them, as I was grateful, and after looking, our new alarm (the electrician fitted it today) it's flashing blue - quite bright too, and doesn't really look like it's just on standby? Will have to wait until the morning now though...

2 minutes later, my old dear knocks on the door asking the same question after just driving past

Weird

Never knew I had a neighbourhood patrol, but it's a nice touch.

Now where's my good neighbours thread?

Also, he sounded very eccentric, the sort who'd have CCTV covering his gnomes.

Nice to know people are looking out for each other!
Wondered what he'd have done if some big bloke in a balaclava answered the door though (not that they would answer it, but still)

[Ron Burgundy]

I think hes just eyeing up your house by checking if the alarm works properly

[s3fella]

Yeah, some other "OLD" was out the back stealing yout plants whikle they deistracted you at front.

Next time, play it safe, as soon as you open the door to these "do gooders" stab him in the eye!

Why don't you put a towel over the light so you can get some sleep?

Most alarms flash when activated. They probably tried it out whilst fitting. The alarm will be silenced but the strobe stays on.

Try resetting it.

Or have a look around upstairs to make sure he isn't actually being burgled?

[Bongo Friendee]

So how exactly did the know that you weren't a robber?

Because the light is approximately 30 feet up the side of my house and I didn't have a ladder handy


I text my electrician, he told me to reset it, that did the trick.
