OT...JV, yeah they probably do. We have a handyman/house looker who comes in once a weekish, runs the taps, looks around, etc. He used to do shutter put ups/take downs, but as he is in his late '50s, and having to put up 3 or 4 dozen sets in a dayish, when a storm comes, isn't up his alley anymore.

We checked around for reliable people to do the shutter thing, but found none, last season. And, not sure I need another key(s) out in circ., and if the crap really hits the fan, an able bodied guy can only knock off 3-4 houses a day, shutter-wise. So, it's a conumdrum...

I'm geographically not "around", so we rolled the dice and put them up.
Fook the few full time neighbors...

It does have decent alarm sys., and there really isn't a lot of "stuff" in the dormant house, to take. It's just "stuff" anyhow...
