I received a call this morning around 5:35 from my security company to report that my alarm was going off here at my pawn shop. The police were waiting out side for me to show up. When I approached the door it was apparent that some Azzhole tried to pry the door open. Key would not work in the lock and it did not take much for the door to pop open. The officers entered the building to do a walk through and of course no one was there. They gave me a case number and requested to look at the video surveillance. you can clearly see this "AH" prying on the door. This happened at 5:31AM this morning and it cost me 450 dollars to fix the door. I will give you one guess what ethnicity this character is. Anyway, I just needed to vent, I have been pissed off since I arrived.

I hope the perp gets an over dose of heroin and dies or gets crushed under a bus and dies. Either way the problem will be solved.
Don't hold back, Bruce, tell us how you really feel!
Glad you still have all your stuff, Jesse.

Hey! Don't be tossin' in us Swedes direction. We are known far and wide as decent, honest, all-around good guys.
Now, them Norwegians you have to keep an eye on. Shifty bunch. Can't trust 'em.
Don't even cook Lutefisk right..... [8D]
NOBODY cooks Lutefish right!!
Don't * The Already Spooked
Catch his * And beat him [;)]
I guess it could have been worse and I am sure the LEO will ask if you have insurance and unless he is caught doing the same to some one else nothing will come of it ,
too bad they outlawed the old bugler 12ga alarm systems open a door or window find the bad guy in the morning
do you have your hours clearly posted in e-bonics on the door maybe thought you opened up early

The local paper lists what happened 50-75-100 years ago on the current date. A few years ago it listed the election results of the local elections and the vote tallies. One tally listed 143 votes and one Swede.Dave

What? The being shifty? Or not cooking Lutefisk correctly? [;)]
It's cot SLEEPING time for about a month.
U can say that again...OOPS.U already did.[:D]
But it may be the animals do a rapid bust in, grab and run. Had they kept going and opened the door what things of value could have been grabbed and run off with in under a minute or two?
So maybe the silent alarm doesn't help and just scaring them off is the less costly option?
A seriously loud alarm with horns on four corners of the building? Lots of bright lights come on? How about some rotating yellows, reds and blues on the roof?
Wonder if anyone has good data on which approach works best for the business owner? The loud noise or the silent call to the police?

Highly dependent upon the specific location and circumstance.
Including but not limited to...
Is the location where attention would be generated by a siren/lights? Noise may cause the bad guy to rush a bit, but really doesn't do that much good if there's no one else around to hear it.
What sort of merchandise and how available is it? After hours is it stored in a secondarily secured area within the business (safe/strong room, etc.) or out and readily accessible/visible from the exterior([:0])?
I have seen holes the size of my desk pounded in walls....doors pried open...huge glass windows broken (only to be stopped by bars)...they even tried to beat the power meter on the building with a huge metal pole! We are all certain whoever tried that HAD to be injured from the look of things.
The only time they actually got anything was when they came in through the roof....that was back in the 80's. The alarm company had installed the sensor's wrong and the alarm never went off. They got quite a few class three weapons.
Every other time they just caused a TON of frustration and cost money.
