    Re: Should we approach them?

    Ah, but that would be breaking and entering. But doesn't sound like a bad idea.

    Re: Should we approach them?

    Yeah, I'm in Joanna camp; just knock with the intention of welcoming them and ask if they need any help.

    Personally I read your first post and thought of far worse, like whomever lives there passed away...
    0.1 ball python (Cleo), 0.1 surinam bcc (Carmen)
    1.0 sunglow motley corn (Jenson), 1.0 albino burmese (Lourdes)
    1.0 cat (Nicky), some mooses and ratters, 1.0 hubby (Rick)

    Re: Should we approach them?

    I don't think anyone has passed away in there. We only just saw the upstairs light on for the first time yesterday. Now the lights are off and no cars are in front. Since I don't think anyone is home right now, knocking on the door tonight is a no go. Maybe tomorrow. If the beeping is still there by 8am tomorrow, I'm getting in touch with the management, dog or no dog here.

    Re: Should we approach them?

    It has now been 40 hours and the beeping continues. A hall light is on next door so someone has come into the house today or possibly tonight and either left it on or they are still there.

    It is midnight and we have left them a note under their mailbox about the beeping. But I am seriously considering knocking on their door and hoping someone answers, even though its midnight. I had a hard enough time sleeping last night with all the beeping. I don't want to have to keep hearing it all night again.

    We knocked on the door and nothing. We'll notify the management in the morning. I'm not just annoyed now. I'm pissed off!

    Re: Should we approach them?

    You waited 40 hours? Holey crap, you are Gandhi reincarnated.

    I'd have phoned the fire dept. after 1 and told them that I thought a smoke detector was going off in my neighbours adjacent home. I mean, for all I'd know it was a fire alarm.

    Do you have anywhere you can relocate the dog to for the day? Even a doggy day-care or kennel?

    Good luck with this issue!

    Re: Should we approach them?

    It probably is a smoke detector that is beeping because the voltage in the batteries has gotten low and it is beeping to say "change me!". When they come home to stay it will bother them too and they will do something about it. A lot of smoke dectectors will operate on AA batteries and also have a 9volt battery. When the operating batteries get low. The 9volt battery will start powering the beeping as a warning to change the batteries.

    Well its almost 50 hours now. We are going to take the dog out for a ride in the car while they fix it. If they fix it. We are heading up there now to let them know about it and tell them we want it fixed NOW!.

    Re: Should we approach them?

    We went up and talked to the lady in the office. She told us no one is living there and they have been showing the townhouse (that explains the light) and that she will be down momentarily to fix the problem.
