| 11/20/2008 7:18:21 AM From: MrsK Well that is sucky. Personally I ABHOR scare tactics to sell me things. Especially since I have two very capable alarm systems of my very own. They may be short, but they sound HUGE if you can't see them. |  |

11/20/2008 7:23:46 AM From: ImWithStupid I'm guessing the salesman is full of it, and the Sheriff's Office really hasn't endorsed, promoted or asked these people to do shit.
Let us know what you find out when you call the SO. |  |
|
|
| 11/20/2008 7:35:00 AM From: MrsK Just got off the phone with the SO, they are sending a deputy out to collect the paperwork the guy gave me, and NO they do not endorse people to come out to my home. and the scary part is that what if hte guy wasn't an ADT rep at all??? What if he was just trying to figure out if I had an alarm system in place? (Which I guess now he knows that I DO). | |

11/20/2008 8:05:29 AM From: ImWithStupid It reminds me of a WKRP in Cincinnati episode the other day where Jennifer (Loni Anderson) bought a new house and the neighbors stopped by and so did a guy who said he was a representative of the phone company.
In the end after everyone left, a cop stopped by to talk to Jennifer and right before he left he warned her that a sexual pervert was going around posing as a phone company rep. | |

11/20/2008 8:45:44 AM From: MrsK That's what I did PB. The officer left a little while ago.  | |

| 11/20/2008 8:53:55 AM From: sk8r that is similar to what happened to my sister .. they came to the door asked about kids.. and a few days later while they were away.. their house got broken into.. the funny thing was that they went thru the house taking things.. ripping wires out the wall until they got to the 3rd floor and went into the closet only to find that they were robbing an OPP officer.. then they started back tracking and putting everything back.. lol |  |

|
| 11/20/2008 9:30:39 AM From: mercury there's a big sign in the front of our development hat says NO SOLICITORS, too. Pisses me off. We did actually have a break in across the street the night before he showed up.... wonder if it was him? | |
|
|
| 11/20/2008 9:34:16 AM From: emkay64 That happened to my brothers girlfriend. He broke in grabbed a kitchen knife and headed for the bedroom. Luckily she wasn't home and she did have an alarm system. The cops figure he had been watching her for some time though...creepy. |  |

| 11/20/2008 9:37:09 AM From: eddo wow. good call on calling the Sheriff! | |
|
|
| 11/20/2008 11:35:12 AM From: ImWithStupid Emkay, you're brother might not like you posting on here that he broke into his girlfriend's house and tried to go after her with a knife. | |

|
| 11/20/2008 12:34:22 PM From: emkay64 ^^^That's a relief...for a second I thought you may be one of those sensitive vaginas that don't understand my sarcastic brand of humor and may possibly cry. | |
|
|
| 11/20/2008 12:42:29 PM From: ImWithStupid I don't think so, but is it ok to cry anyway? | |
|
|
| 11/20/2008 12:43:16 PM From: emkay64 ^^^NO! You're ugly when you cry. | |
