This goes back to my complaint that pawn shops are basically fencing operations carrying a few legit goods for cover. I think burglaries would go down dramatically if pawn shops were illegal.

Agreed!

If you are still looking for an alarm system provider, I recommend PSI. I had ADT and was paying $36/mo for monitoring (windows/doors/motion/heat/smoke). PSI is $10/mo cheaper and uses the same equipment. All they have to do is come out and change the board in your alarm panel which they do for free. On top of that, the first three months are free. However, best of all, if your alarm goes off, they call the monitoring station the first second until waiting 30+ seconds like ADT does.
