That Phone Call

Guest post written by my buddy Bernardo Graham

Since I have a home alarm system at my house I pretty much set it, leave the house and never think about it again. I go about my business all day every day not even thinking twice about my house and all of its belongings. The only time that feeling ever waivers is when you see that 800 number flash across your cell phone caller ID and you just know that it is the monitoring company calling to let you know something or someone has set off your home alarm. It is quite a scary feeling to be away from your home and have someone from adt bristol ask you if you can meet the police there and they are already in route. This has happened to me only once and thank the Lord it was just my dog barking inside that set off the glass break sensors we have in our kitchen. I was so upset with my dog but at the same time so happy that nothing really bad had happened I didn’t know whether to get mad or cry.
