I have an alarm system on my house. I have my monitored through suddenlink, it costs like $17 a month, best money ever spent. I also own a gun and a concealed handgun license, not that I am paranoid or anything. Just a New York thing I guess. Since this is considered a bedroom community. Very suburban, thieves are known for hitting these areas. They think that most people aren't home. Funny how this started right around the time that people came around trying to sell meat from a refrigerated truck.
