alarms,alarms,alarms

I do have an alarms in my home. last year before Christmas time my home alarm went off. I know it was not good. That was bad cuz everyone went on vacation, my husband out of the country, my brother was in Texas and only me was home. I went to work around 8am. At 8:30am, my brother in texas called me and told about the alarm went off... I knew it was not a good new right the way. Guess what? someone was try to break into my house but lucky my alarm went off and the police responded right the way. It was good tho. I didn't loose anything and I was happy to hear that :).. all i had to do was replacing the door :)
