Back in Ye Olde Engineering Daze, we had this Geeky Joke. When diagramming out some Project on the proverbial White Board, we'd draw a rectangle to represent some impossible Step and label it 'And Here A Miracle Occurs'. Like, fitting a 1,000 Watt Power Supply into the physical Real Estate of a 'Rubik's Cube'. Physical Laws prevent achieving this.
Well, an aspect of your Home Security Plans appear to have this similar assumption -> And Here A Miracle Occurs. That Bad Guys are driven away from your Home by Alarm Noise, or that the Good Guys show up to halt the situation.
In what was not a 'one-off' situation, a Pal's Business was broken into. It took 4 hours for anyone official to show up. Part of this delay was at the 'Market Leader' Alarm Company which I won't specify here.
What was stolen, by Perps reportedly looking for Power Tools to Fence, were John Denver Artifacts this fellow was prepping for display at the Colorado Music Museum that just opened. John's Widow and Estate were able to offer
some replacement items, but not all.
To the degree that you can, make sure what you
think will happen likely
will happen. There's an old Saying: 'When seconds matter, the Police are only minutes away'.
In other News, here's one of many Ships that crossed from Massachusetts - or thereabouts - to Scotland a few Decades ago.
