Driving down Ridgewood Ave, around 1:15, enjoying the fall scene, we heard a shrieking alarm that sounded like an ambulance or police car and promptly pulled over. Seeing nothing in the rearviews, we heard a voice repeatedly barking over a loud speaker: BURGLARY! BURGLARY!  LEAVE THIS LOCATION RIGHT NOW!  The house had a for sale sign (it's a Rhodes Van Note 6 BR just reduced to 899k).  A minute later, one of Glen Ridge's finest pulled up and cautiously walked up to the front door. Didn't hang around for the outcome but the alarm could still be heard 10 minutes later and five blocks away in Bloomfield. We've heard that talking houses can be a good marketing tool but this takes it to a new level! From EcoRealty
