One chance in a thousand (less, probably) that LE shows up to the wrong address to investigate a possible BIP.
You never think it's gonna be YOUR house. Until it is.

Thankfully I live in a low-crime neighborhood with a great PD.
The vast majority of alarm calls are wind, pets and forgetful kids.
But it really hits home to think about what may have happened had our PD been the kind to make tactical entries for such things.
Reported burglary in progress, yard door unlocked. Hopefully no PD has that in their SOP for an alarm call.

The chances are near zero, until it's happening.

Thought it was worth sharing the non-event.
Can't tell you how many witness reports on the news start out with, 'That just doesn't happen in my neighborhood...'

Be prepared.
