Background: We�ve just replaced the security system in our historical village/museum because the old one was obsolete and also ran on a similar frequency to local police radios. We had periodic false alarms due to patrol cars parking in the village at break time � the P.D. would then charge us a �false alarm� fee. The following happened prior to the replacement.
3:00am � the society president gets a call from the alarm company, possible break-in at one of the buildings.
�Okay, I�ll run down and check it out�
�Shall we call the police?�
�No, let me check it first�
(picture pres as a rough diamond type who wears his hair in a ponytail under a ball cap�but not at 3:00am)
He pulls into the village, gets out of his truck, and is approached by one of Garden Grove�s finest.
�Can I help you sir?�
�I�m just here to turn off the alarm and reset it�
�I don�t hear any alarm�
�No, the security company called and said it was triggered�
�The police haven�t had any report�
�No, I told them not to call you. I have keys to all the buildings, see? I�ll just run in and reset the system�
�Weeeellll, okay�
Pres goes inside, checks that everything�s in order, comes out and there�s now a sergeant on scene who agrees that everything seems fine, but:
�You know I�ve always wanted to take the tour here but never gotten around to it. Being you have the keys�I don�t suppose you�d want to give us a quick tour?�
So at 4:00am(approx) Tim gives them a tour of the museum.
Board Treasurer: �Did they pay for it?�
Tim: �Nope�
Me: �Did they at least invite you out for coffee and donuts?�
Nope :(
