Kind of off topic but many of my friends in BR do not have an alarm and that’s insane to me. I’ve had one ever since I bought my first house. When we occasionally stay in Airbnb’s without one, the lack of it puts me a little on edge.

When I lived in Lafayette I didn't have alarms, I didn't really need them in the area my house is in. I mean I always had a gun locked and loaded by my bed just in case ,and my dogs were alarm enough. My mom is currently living in my house now and she put up a ring camera ,but it isn't really needed where the home is.

It’s usually in a neighborhood I’m not familiar with and the whole fam is with me. I feel a bit exposed. I’ve stayed in them with friends and not thought much of it. But I imagine advertising you have an alarm on Airbnb may not be the best marketing ploy.

Does my wife do it?

I do all that while my wife relaxes in a hot tub of water. Then she gets out, lays in bed, and reads a book. I imagine she either doesn’t think about it or just assumes a magic fairy comes to ensure everything is safe and ready for bed.

After taking dogs out I go back out into the yard, check tripwires and pull pins on claymores.

My wife will do it but she will damn sure complain about it. Sometimes I'll get in bed and she will still be up. She will get in bed, wake me up, and ask me if I locked up.

I’ve never had an alarm. Seems like a big waste of money if your nestled in a safe, suburban neighborhood and don’t advertise your lifestyle online.

Never had an issue. (I do not live in BR tho).

Live alone so it’s me.

When I was married my now ex would leave her Yukon unlocked in the driveway with the opener in it. At first I added that to the nightly steps but after a while I just took her opener.

I say Alexa goodnight and it locks doors, turns off lights, turns on exterior lights, sets my AC where I want it, turns on my white noise in the bedroom, and tells me tomorrows weather.

We do the same.
Its a great help

Throw blood in mote to wake up gators.
Deploy dragons
Tell Smith and Wesson good night,
And snuggle up to dragon queen

Call on God's guardian angels
Pray Lord's prayer

Turn on the outside light and lock the doors

Make sure the doors are locked and drop the cover thing in the dog door.
