In news from across the pond, a Humberside, UK resident, frustrated with an apparently poorly maintained alarm system that had been beeping for weeks, took matters into his own hands—literally.

When the incessantly enunciating panel embarked upon its third week of unminded and unattended to beeping a resident on the first floor of where the panel was located grabbed himself some ladders and an axe and went to work.

The frenzied resident, unnamed in the UK Mirror story, climbed up the ladders, gained entrance through a boarded up window and hacked the panel or keypad (the source story does not make clear which) off the wall, whacking the blade through wires to pull the beeping device from the wall. 

The man then descended and began waving his ax around and yelling at others. A business owner on the first floor, frightened for the safety of himself and his customers, called the police.

An alarm system that hasn’t been maintained and serviced properly can suffer from any number of problems. Drop Norris a line today to set up a free consult and see now a service and maintenance contract can keep your system in good health and prevent incessant, annoying beeping for 3 weeks.

In the case of crazed, ax-wielding neighbors, we also offer video surveillance, panic alarms, and emergency notification systems.
