Why the cops came to work today...

So there I am, officeing away in my office, when the marketing whiz sticks her head around the corner. "Joe, the alarm people called. They say the burglar alarm's going off in Zone 3."

"Ummm, we don't have three zones." I reply. "Give them the code word and ask them if we need a service call."

Ten minutes later, my phone rings. I answer.

"This is ADT calling. Did you activate your 'under duress' code?"

"Ummm, no." I reply.

"Well, somebody did, and the police are outside your front entrance. Tell me what you're wearing so they know it's you coming outside to talk. You don't want anything to go wrong."

"Okay. I'll be right out."

As it turns out, ADT was working on another alarm system in the area yesterday, and the tech misprogrammed it. While he was trying to test somebody else's system, ADT was getting alerts from what they though was OUR alarm panel.

At least we know the police respond to those alarms now.
