They kicked in the front door and completely destroyed the door jamb. While the handyman was fixing the door, the burglar alarm man came to look over the place and install his system. The alarm man had some stickers to put on the windows that would alert would be burglars to the presence of the security system. Well, the handyman asked if he might get some stickers, too. No, he wasn't going to put in an alarm system, but he believed having stickers would be enough of a deterrent. That alarm man was kind of miffed at that. He wanted to get another commission, not give away stickers!
