Someone in my apartment building has a hard on for the fire alarm.

In the last 2 days its gone off 3 times due to someone pulling it. So everyone files out and the Fire Dept shows up in record time and they look the place over and then go away.

Someone just pulled it again at 12:13 am and I can hear the sirens as I type this but Im not gonna go running out again mainly cause i dont feel like sitting outside in the cold canadian winter for 30 min to wait for the fire people.

One way you might be able to tell who pulled the alarm is to look at the way people are dressed when they are waiting outside. The person or persons dressed the warmest would probably be your culprits.

That would have been me last time though because I was like "not again" grabbed my jacket, toque and mits had my book with me and walked over to the coffee place across the street until things quieted down.

The problem is that there are multiple fire alarms.

The building is a maze 5, storeys high and split off into a number of tiny sections. Its an old historic building and the person was obviously smoking opium (I would say crack or claim they were on acid but neither was around then) when they built it. Anyhoo to fully surveillance all the fire alarms would take at least 10 or 15 cameras.

So probably not an option.

Apparently not, probably due to the age of the system.

All they need is one real camera and 14 fake ones. Then just swap them around; or better yet, be seen 'swapping' them. Sooner or later, they'll be caught on camera. They may not be identifiable, though. Truth is, they probably won't be identifiable.

Vigilance is the best method of dealing with this sort of thing. Go out there and look for someone, and be SEEN looking.

Speaking of security cameras, here's a note of hilarity for yall. I work for a frozen foods distributor. We recently branched out into full service distribution, but frozen foods are our bread and butter. Our five main DCs are exclusively frozen food. We spent god knows how many dollars installing high tech cameras in our Miami freezer. They're nice cameras. Color, remote control, viewable and controllable from home for the swinging d1cks. They've been known to call a supervisor and ask him if he knew he had a guy sneaking outside for a break. All well and good.

The cameras are all over the place, but they installed multiple cameras down this one particular aisle in the warehouse with the intent of slotting all of our high-dollar merchandise on this aisle.

That's when I started giggling; I couldn't help it. OK, let me get this straight, these guys want to put all the high dollar stuff in one spot, because there are more cameras there. Sounds good, except for a couple of basic facts.

First, we sell the high dollar stuff to customers, just like all the other product; that's why we carry it. It can be sold to any customer on any order, so any order selector may have reason to handle some of it at any given time. Second, our freezers are maintained at -20 degrees, which makes the work one of the few jobs where a SKI MASK is standard issue. You've got fifty guys in there on identical equipment, dressed in bulky clothing, wearing ski masks.

Great Scott, you've narrowed it down to a guy between 5'1 and 6'4, over 120 lbs and under 300 lbs, unknown race or sex, wearing a ski mask!

So I'm kinda in the doghouse lately for openly scoffing at their brilliance. It's not MY fault that they're a collective group of retards. I think I'll go pull the fire alarm.

You could camp outside near one of the alarms with a baseball bat... or patrol the hallways with one.
