House alarm constantly ringing

[micmclo]

Why wait 20 minutes?

Garda response times through that phonewatch
If they're not there within twenty minutes unlikely they are coming at all

Also, they are supposed to be programmed to go off after twenty minutes or at least the Green Party were talking about that.
So any alarm going over that shows a clueless and careless owner

Leo your right, I can't back it up with stats, but in my experience I've never heard of anyone ringing the police coz an alarm went off, if they ring at all it because of the nuciance value. Owners with alarms should factor in some consideration of their neighbours, but again in my experience they don't.
