Last week i noticed that my internet was down, so after checking the phones and modem and found that there was no dial tone, i called my service provider. The arranged for an inspection which happend this morning. However on saturday i went outside for further checks and noticed that the phone cable was cut but not entirely. I thought it was just some kids, well the tech came this morning and i showed him what had happened. When he opened the little grey box (shown) the wires were clean cut!
The tech said that they (robbers) tried to disable the back to base signal on the alarm so when they break in they alarm would not send a signal back to the monitored base. Fortunately i always deadlock my doors and security sliding doors so they could not unhinge it. Normally they cut the cable, unhinge the sliding door, get inside, rip the alarm out and they rob the place.
Just a warning be careful, if your phone line is out, it may not be a simple line breakage but an attempted break-and-enter! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅
