  1. It would be helpful to have more details.

    Did the home have an alarm that summoned the police?

    If yes, what was the response time?

    The whole selling point of our own PD at very high cost is the very fast response times.

    If this happened, the burglars wouldn’t have been able to get anything that wasn’t laid out for them on a silver platter!
