I fucking hate Brinks commercials. They always show some family chilling at home then some asshole tries to break and the Brinks alarm saves the day. That NEVER happens. Unless there's a hit out on you or you have a psycho ex, no one tries to break into your house while you're home. An alarm is a good idea, but Brinks needs to stop with their childish scare tactics.

I like the one where the guy pretty much body slams the front door then immediately runs away before the door even hits the back wall when he hears the alarm, you'll never achieve anything in life if you run at the first ringing of the alarm.

What sells more alarms, "our alarm will help the police catch someone who burst into your house", or "our alarm will keep garish villians from breaking into your house and turning your life into a lifetime movie"?

Eventually, the criminal will break in. Skull fuck the owner and throw a bowling ball into her plasma TV. Then Robert Wagner will step out and say: "This wouldn't have happened if she had installed Brinks!"

I think a competitor sponsors the show.
Anyways, yes, people do try and break into your house when you're home. Not if they can help it, but it certainly happens. What they do not do, however, is smash the window right in front of the family watching TV in the living room. Successful burglars know to peek in the window first.
Come to think of it, successful burglars try to avoid breaking glass at all if they can. And they stay the hell away from places with security systems.
I once read an article about a cat burglar that struck during dinner. While everyone was downstairs eating, he'd slip in an upstairs window and rob the bedrooms. Some of the victims didn't even notice they'd been hit until days later.

I love it takes a thief, and yes brinks commercials are idiotic. Why would I break in when everyone is either at home or awake? DUH!!!
As a side note, Username is quite correct Shut up Dorn, Epic fail on so many levels, not to mention racial, content, intelligence, and good taste.
