    Re: Should we approach them?

    I can't even imagine that if it annoys you that much, that it wouldn't drive them absolutely nuts being in the home with the constant beeping.

    I like Joanna's suggestion.

    Maybe they don't know how to shut it off? Or perhaps they will get to it when they are actually moved in, or have a long broom handle? lol

    Re: Should we approach them?

    No one has been home since yesterday and the beeping continues, now even more frequent. Its very annoying but can't do anything about it if they are not home. I'm thinking of at least leaving a note on their door.

    Aurora is a dog we've been babysitting for over a month for my cousin. He's given me the ok to find her a new home though so we are hoping to have her in a new home by the end of next week.

    Re: Should we approach them?

    Wow; that would drive me nuts! Could you notify the management without, say, having them in the house?
    I would be extremely worried that it could be a Carbon Monoxide detector. Mark had to install them in all of the apartments that he rented out in property management... whoa!

    Re: Should we approach them?

    It could be. I know our smoke detectors detect certain gases. We actually tried using our oven to make tater tots and while the oven was heating up, the smoke alarm started going off and there was no smoke in the apartment, so it had to be some kind of gas. I think we will let them know tomorrow morning since it is still going off. They are closed for the evening.

    The beeping has been going on for about 38 hours now.

    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.
