JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — An alarm company here is showing just what the holidays are all about.
A local family’s apartment was broken into twice in a week’s time, leaving all of their Christmas presents stolen. Scott Alarm received word about the burglaries and did its part to right a wrong by installing a free alarm system, according to News 4 Jax.

“I think it will help them recover,” said Joe Kennedy, Scott Alarm’s general manager in Jacksonville. “Obviously this is something that stays with you for a long time, but in talking with them, they have a young son, it’s been very reassuring to them that everything will be protected. Everything (they) have left will be protected. They can get on with their lives.”
“They were very excited to have a new start,” Kennedy added, “because anytime you’ve been violated — and many of us have, myself included — and had your personal belongings stolen, you are just looking to pick up and move on and not come back to the horrible time that just occurred.”
