should i call the police?

I go on long walks in the morning and a certain house that I pass by a few blocks away seems to have its house alarm going off. Its been going off for at least two days now. The thing is, it sounds like its muffled, or damaged, or perhaps low on batteries or something. It sounds like a quick car alarm sounding off in the distance, but its coming from the front of the house.

I have particularly strong hearing and I'm not sure if I'm simply misinterpreting the sound of some appliance or something. Its not loud enough to annoy neighbors it seems. I can barely hear it from across the street, but when infront of the house its easy enough to hear.

I'm thinking that since its been going on for at least two days now, its not important enough for 911. I've called 311 a few minutes ago and left a message about, although they really don't seem to be on the ball.

Any suggestions?

what is 311?

It seems to be a local government center number. I got a message from the mayor or something saying the office was currently closed. Then a recorded message instructed me on how to leave a message at the proper section.

If it's been going on for two days the police probably aren't going to be able to do much. Though, it would be hilarious if someone broke in and was still there, just having lunch and watching TV lol.

Yeah dude do it

You should have called the police two days ago.

:lol: that happened to my neighbor a few years back, the guy not only stole most of his stuff, he also ate everything in the fridge

I would have thought their immediate neighbours would have done something by now if it's been going on for 2 days.

Their alarm has been going off for days and nobody has called the police yet?
