Either they would have to have extremely long arms. Since the gate is quite a ways from the front door.
Or they would have to get through the gauntlet of Boko, Sandy and Layla,

We have Brinks/ADT. I guess it's fine I never mess with it. The alarm has never gone off since we lived here, a guy comes checks it out every so often. The system came with the house, everything built in. Wired and wireless features.
