what the hootenanny

there is a cul- du-sac on my route.
one of the houses is set way back off the circle.
i had a parcel for the nice old guy that lives there.
the driveway leading to the house is way too long to walk, so
i drove it back and rang the bell.
no response.
rang again.
waited.
nothing.
it was pretty snowy so instead of just leaving it out on the stoop
i opened his storm door to stick it safely inside.
big BIG mistake.
a siren went off that sounded like a bonified air raid drill.
that was followed by a booming voice (think announcer at an NFL game)
saying "SECURITY HAS BEEN BREACHED. THE POLICE HAVE BEEN CALLED. LEAVE THE PREMISES
IMMEDIATELY!"
Then the air raid blast again.
Followed by the VOICE again.
while making my escape i saw the speakers on top of the guy's roof that looked like they should have been set up for a Rolling Stones Concert at Madison Square Garden.
Talk about overkill!
The message kept blaring!
This went on for as long as i was on the street.
I drove along feeling like some sort of criminal leaving the scene of a crime.

Note to self:
next time leave the old man's package on the snowy doorstep and drive slowly away.
