Pickle In Your Pocket

I was exploring my parents house the other day and I came across a number of cool things I hadn’t found in awhile like my old coin and stamp collection as well as some old clothes and such. But I also stumbled across a number of red buttons which had been set back in the wood. I immediately remembered what they were. They were Panic buttons left over from when we had out old security system. The way they worked is similar to a bank alarm. If you were in the house and near a button and someone tried to break in you could hit the button and it would sound the alarm. I remember when I was a little kid I hit it and took my parents quite a while to find the shut off switch for the home security system. The system is no longer hooked up, which means our house is no longer protected. I am not sure if I think it was right for my parents to unhook the system or if i think they should have left it up. There a re a number of systems out there and maybe in the future they will find one that fits there needs and once again they will have an alarm I don’t really know.
