Today I planned to pop into Happy Towers & spend a good day on the paperwork...
On route I note the missing cover on one of my sites & carry on to work
I check my alarm activations & there lots of alarm & confirms & keyholders contacted but not answering.... as the premises are open I ring 'em they finally answer & speak to Linda, she'd noticed the alarm "unset different" & wondered what the white thing was chucked on the grass (bell cover)
Anyway she's there til 4 & can I pop on site & repair,
I arrive to find her at her desk, she's checked the premises & can see no sign of break in, I check the log & there's various zones gone off on the stairwell & 1st floor
She leads I follow, ground front fire exit door has been forced, upstairs the internal door has been forced & desk draw has been forced too, at the minimum some petty cash has gone.
She rings the police, I go & replace the EWD, As I'm closing the lid on the new box, CSI are on site, he's whizzed though a visit & declared the burglars as "gloved"
I tell him the alarm 1st went off on the 29th, 2nd time an 1hr later, then a no. of times 24hrs later moving though zones then the bell box got twated off,
He can't understand why we didn't call the police....
I explain it doesn't hold a URN & then have to explain what a URN is...
His epaulettes says "Senoir CSI" & he's going "surley if get confirmed intruder" they should ring the police regardless..."
I like to say I'm surpised, but its not the 1st time
