Don't forget to lock up your stuff

Just a reminder.

Had a 80x40 shop built on my land off lake Palestine. Went out last night to spend the night and get up early and hunt. What I assume was kids, drank all my beer, smoked all my tobacco, ate food from the fridge, played ping pong and basket ball, cleaned up and left. Left a turd in toilet because water was turned off. Expensive tools, tv, radio all still there. Thankfully. Game trail cam still there but sd card missing.

Could have been worse. Video survallence system inbound.

At least they cleaned up and didnt tear the place apart.

May want to question some of the kids that may know you. Sounds like someone may have thrown themselves a little get together with friends that may know you.

This ^. Most people don't break in a and clean up! Lol

Simply Safe security

works on cell phone tower.
It will text you if you have a break in, you can drive up on them while they are making popcorn and whip their asses then call the Sheriff

Really glad you didn't loose anything....sounds like someone that knows you.....

Don't mean to hijack but does anyone here have "Simply Safe"? I'm looking for something at the house and my shop....good, bad, features, etc...

Thanks!

I recently got SimpliSafe and it works well. It's more up front but you don't have the crazy monthly rates or a contract. If I decide to sell it with my house it's fine, or I can take it with me wherever. They sell refurbished systems on their website that are pretty reasonable. You can buy individual sensors to customize your setup. Setup is wireless and dead simple.

If you are a cheapskate (like me) monitoring is about $15 a month. If you want all the fancy alerts to your cell phone and what-not (meh) it's about $21 I think.

Anybody have any reviews?

Don't know many people on purpose so suspect local kids on holiday break.

I bought a 4 camera system on Amazon for 260 that wil txt me when an event happens and let's you view from phone app. No monthly fee.
Also Have local alarm company putting hardwire hardware in next month. I have it at home and like the system. Just got to comfortable out there before installed.

I wouldn't be surprised if you get a return visit soon, especially with the long xmas break coming up in a few weeks

not flushing the toilet is just plain rude as is showing up to a party to drop a deuce anyway.....kids these days

sounds like immigrants came by

Just think of the DNA left behind and I'm not talking about the turd

Someone you know!!! If they don't know you they would have cleaned you out and not taken the time to clean up around the place.

Its Lake Palestine....

There aren't immigrants at Lake Palestine?

Sorry I couldn't find the water main...

I have a simplisafe system, and really like it.

You can buy just the components you need, and it is really easy to install and setup yourself.

No long term contracts, and monitoring is like $15 per month, as a previous poster mentioned.

I have had one false alarm with the system, which was my fault (interior door that had a door sensor and I didnt shut it good, and it swung open when the house shifted or a puff of wind came along.)

Monitoring company called me to see if it was a valid alarm, then called the sheriff, who had a deputy out there shortly who looked around and reported back to me that all looked ok.

Their monitoring company has also called me when I was testing the system a couple of times to confirm that the testing was working, and they were getting signals.

They also have monitored smoke detectors and leak detectors, and will call the fire dept if the smoke goes off, or just call you if the leak/water detector goes off.

I was quite impressed with the system. They are also apparently working on cameras that will work with their system in some fashion, but have not released those yet.

The system contains its own cell phone to call out, so you dont have to have a land line, or pay for a cell subscription or anything to get monitoring either, which is good.

I havent run into any problems or downside to them yet. (had them about a year now...)

What kind of beer?

If there was Javi remains and week old Chili this would NOT shock me
