My son accidently set off the security system at his house yesterday and the police came.

The system hasn't worked since they put it in, and they fixed it yesterday. And of course he managed to set it off when he came home, even though he followed the instructions the repairman gave him. Now he's afraid to open his door for fear he'll have to talk to the police again.

I hope he doesn't stop using the security system. He doesn't live in that great of a neighborhood. The last occupants were drug dealers. I worry someone will break in and hurt him, not knowing the former occupants are gone. He does still occasionally have people come around looking for them.
