Stupid people

So I've mentioned that I really do despise this town right? lol! I can't tell you how many times I get annoying solicitors coming to my door. Having a sign up doesn't even keep them away. Usually it's just the typical ones -- selling magazines or wanting to clean the carpets in one of your rooms blah blah. No, I never let any of them in or buy from them lol!

I have the ADT security system in my house. Yesterday some guy comes to my house telling me that he's in charge of security in my neighborhood. LOL yeah okay. He looked like he was about 20 or 21. He asked me if I had heard from my neighbors or seen "all over the news" about the security alarms in my neighborhood. Um no? He told me people are cutting the wires to them from the outside of the house so that they won't work when/if someone breaks in. He goes on and on telling me he can install this new system (APX security) for me for no cost. That it's all touch screen and goes through the cell phones so that the issue with cutting wires won't be of concern. Then he was like there's normally a $199 connection fee but I am waiving that fee too! I will just come in and install this for you, blah blah. Do I look stupid to you? haha! He was trying to scare me into falling for it all too. Telling me that eventually all alarm systems will go to this and it's something I need to get NOW. I told him I am just fine with ADT and that I'm not interested. He finally left. When he left I got online searching this APX thing and there are a TON of bad reviews about it. It's like a huge scam. They get you into this ridiculous contract with them and most of their stuff is expired. After I did that I called ADT and told them about it and asked them if there was in fact an issue with what he said going on in my neighborhood. They told me the whole thing sounded weird to them and that it didn't matter what cords were cut, it goes through a radio thing and that if someone broke in, they WOULD know about it. They also said they had heard nothing about this issue going on and that if they were me, they'd call the police station and let them know about this guy and plus, if something like that really was going on in my neighborhood, the police would know about it. So I get off the phone with them and debating calling the police station and I look outside and that dude is sitting on the corner of my driveway talking on a cell phone and staring at my house! This was a good 15 mins after he left my door. So that was enough for me. Oh not to mention, even though all of this is public information, he knew my name and how long I've lived here.

Anyway, so I call the police station and tell them the whole story. The woman told me that nothing like that has ever been reported and she had me describe the guy and all of that and told me she was sending a cop out to my neighborhood to locate him. I did see a cop car driving around about 10 mins later, so hopefully they found the guy and talked to him. Something about that whole thing just didn't feel right to me. Not only was it creepy, but I hate when people try to scam other people, ugh!!!

I really hate this town LOL!
