Out of his league:
A door-to-door security alarm salesperson stopped by our house yesterday afternoon. He must have thought he was pretty slick waving about a newspaper article on the Calgary Police shooting a burglar dead in a home this year. Buddy, just seeing that the Police were on the scene speaks volumes to me.
I’m not averse to installing a security alarm, but after life in South Africa I don’t think any sales pitch this guy could have dreamt up would be enough to shake me. Three break-ins — one in the middle of the night with my whole family asleep in the house — 2 attempted break-ins, friends and family who have been car-jacked, mugged, and raped in their own homes. Security alarms, guard dogs, razor wire, electric fencing, 8' spike-covered walls, electric gates, 1/4" solid steel burglar bars, security gates (inside and out), panic buttons, and handguns. You’re a rookie bub.
