I just love it when I’m not told about an alarm system when I have to walk through a house doing an appraisal. After opening the door using the lock box key, I hear the tell tale beeping of the security system. Luckily, it doesn’t have an ear piercing siren like some do, just a slightly louder beep. I just do my thing, walking through, taking notes and pictures. I’m in the basement finishing up, when I hear footsteps...
I say, rather loudly, “I’m down in the basement, I’m an appraiser, and have permission to be here”. The cop was cool, took my name, looked at my licenses, and went on his way. I called
the listing agent to remind him, that in the future, we appraisers appreciate that alarms be turned off, or give us the code, so as not to be mistakenly
shot by the police, thinking we’re robbing a house.

Got caught by the alarm at work once. CEO had armed it thinking there was no one in the office (I walk to work, and kept the lights in my office off). Couldn’t hear it from my office, though did when I got up to get a drink. Disarmed it and had just gotten back to my desk (was about to call the alarm company) when the police showed up. They were startled to find someone in a dark office. Fortunately they were expecting a false alarm because it had been flaky of late and not long before they had cleared the place with guns drawn. They were more relaxed this time since they weren’t expecting anyone to be there.

Better than the opposite. We once locked in the CEO with the alarm on. Funny part about it is that the office had a locking gate so he was completely locked inside. Thankfully we were right across the street at the bar when he set it off.

When I was a child we used to have an alarm that would go off everytime there was a power cut.
But this was the quiet alarm like when you press the emergency button to not upset the intruders. So you don’t think of calling the alarm company to say everything’s allright .
Anyways, everytime the police showed up. Very friendly ringing the doorbell. But then continue to search the entire house with guns drawn. Was great as a kid

Oops... Our CEO was pretty chill (shorts and Birkenstocks sort of guy), so he probably wouldn’t have been too upset.
