The Police Came Twice

Posted on March 5, 2006 | Filed Under The Apartment 

Crazy Lady came by this evening to tell me that she called the police twice this weekend while we were away in Victoria. She had heard a loud noise in our apartment and was worried. She claims it happened on Saturday and Sunday.

“There couldn’t be any loud noise, ” I said. “We were away all weekend.”
“It made a ‘bee-de-de-de-dee’ noise, two times <indistinguisable yammer> said they’d come back…”
“What time was the noise at?” I asked.
“The middle of the night,” she said.
Puzzled, “It wasn’t at 7:30 in the morning, was it?”
“Oh maybe,” she said.

I checked and aparently we forgot to un-set our alarm clock.

Somehow, I am amazed that the police still come when this lady calls.

    That’s insane! She really is crazy!

    Does your alarm clock really only beep twice? There’s no way that would wake me up…I’d be sleeping right through it :)

    If you don’t snooze, it just blares for a few minutes then stops — a cool feature, in my opinion. So, it went off once each day. It also starts out quiet and gradually increases in volume over the span of 15 seconds or so, which Laura likes.
