How safe are you really with ADT?

I have noticed something about ADT in Goodwood - probably a general thing with them. They are stationed in the lower end of Goodwood (N1, Vrijzee, etc), by a highschool and a nearby mall. I don't really see them patrol the streets, although there are so many people who use their service. There was lately an incident in one of the streets where 3 houses next to each other were broken into, of which 2 of those were ADT protected houses.<br> <br> Then I look at the upper end of Goodwood (Tygerdal, Glenwood, etc) where another security company is stationed. Let's not supply names and call it Company X. There is a totally different picture there. They are visible, and every now and again they patrol areas even where they do not serve. It makes one feel safer. And gives people a good impression of that company.<br> <br> Another thing people talk about and something I have witnessed myself recently, is that Company X would confront suspicious persons/activities in the area and clear the problem.<br> <br> I would rather join company X (I am thinking of doing that), or similar than go for something like ADT - they don't create that \safe and controlled"vibe as some others do."""
