My house was almost robbed tonight at 9:30pm
I went and visited some family in Conway AR today and I came home at 9:30pm and I pulled up into my driveway. I had some packages to get out of my car so I got out and was messing with getting things organized and I heard a voice on the far side of the chain link fence that separates me from a public area. I first heard a voice and thought it was someone walking their dog but it was 9:30 at night and they were in a wooded/forest area with no lights.
I then heard one say in a loud voice. "I am saying HE IS HOME. The guy is back he just pulled in. (Pause) I am telling you the guy is home. Come get us". The boy was on a cell phone to someone else. He was talking LOUD. I then realized that this was someone going to rob me. I turned and looked in their direction but could not see anything but shadows. Within seconds, a small SUV pulled and the 2 individuals got in the SUV (the dome light didn't come on when the door was opened) and the SUV drove away quickly. The voice was of a young male 14 to 18 years old.
I called the police after thinking about it. I wanted extra patrols in the neighborhood until I can get a alarm installed. The police officer came and I told him what happened. He filed a report but there isn't anything he can do which I know. I can't ID anyone or even the vehicle. I am going to have a security system installed Monday but wanted extra patrols in the neighbor hood until them.
I was wondering on GOOD and BAD info on home security companies. If anyone has had a good or bad experience or have heard anything about a company. The police officer told me some stories about one in my town that is horrible (not worth having) and they are one of the famous ones.
