Came across a stat that 40% of home security false alarms come from the same 5% of houses

Was reading through some old industry reports from 2019 last night and that one jumped out at me. Found it in a PDF from the Security Industry Association website. Makes me think about how we used to just slap systems in and never follow up on bad sensors or user training. These days I spend way more time teaching customers how to actually arm and disarm without panicking. Anyone else notice repeat offenders on their service logs?

Ever notice how the same kind of thing happens with smoke detectors too? lol. My neighbor's goes off every time they cook bacon but they just ignore it now instead of fixing the placement. It's like people get used to the false alarms and just tune everything out.
