Alarm Systems

I noticed the sticker on the window of the office.

The decal informed me and others that an alarm company was protecting this place.

I had seen the TV commercials of the clever ways their system works.

When there is an intruder the owner and police are notified.

Sound and motion detectors are used.

Here is another slice of our modern life.

I wonder how many times stickers like that have prevented crimes.

How many times have bad guys avoided such places?

How many times have those systems led to the capture of criminals?

How much peace of mind have owners enjoyed?

I can see the sticker from the sidewalk.

I cannot see the ways the devices work in the office.

I cannot see the ways the alarm company is informed.

I cannot see the inner workings of the alarm company.

I cannot see how this has helped police over the years.

I cannot see those who went behind bars due to this system.

That tiny sticker is like a little flag that represents the whole system.

I see you there silent servant system.
