One night my children and I were at home while my husband had gone to a late business meeting. It was a cold, dark night and the street light had come on a few houses down. We were upstairs on the back side of the house so you could not see that anyone was home. I could hear a dog bark down the street, but that was not anything unusual because a lot of our neighbors have dogs and they randomly bark all the time.

The wind had started to blow around, and I was feeling a little weird. But I didn’t want the kids to sense anything so we just kept going with our regular nighttime rituals of baths and stories. My husband was not expected home for another hour. At least I had the comfort of knowing that we had put in a security system from www.HOME-alarm-SYSTEMS.com.

Suddenly I heard some rumbling and banging around our front door and I went to see what it was. The front door sprung open and a strange man was coming in. Our alarm went off, and the man ran back out the door. It scared me to death, but I was so thankful for that alarm. No telling what would have happened if we had not had the alarm system.
