Closed down Pro Lift factory in Louisville, KY.

A little story to go with this:

So I get there early, around 9am, entry is easy thu the back door as it was wide open. I couldn't find a way to the 2nd level and beyond, the only way possible was nailed and boarded shut from the other side of the door. After spending a half an hour inside, I start to leave, but I didn't want to leave defeated, so I go back in for another try. I find the basement, and see that others have rigged a dangerously way in, with half broken pallets. But I get into the basement and now feel I am making some progress, I finally find stairs to the upper level and build my hopes up until I get to the...

*This entire building is vacant*







*Leads to upper huge room, nothing else*



*This is the entry to the basement, note the black wire hanging down? I installed that to a ladder above this loading dock, it held my weight to get down.*











Now to finish the story.

So the last pic was the stairs heading up to the rest of the building, however when I got to the top of the stairs to the 2nd level, out of nowhere this sharp alarm goes off, I instantly realized it was motion detected.
I return again to find the door that I entered first was still open, so I figure the cops probably didn't respond, but the alarm was off, course now its now dark and I go back in, set the alarm off and book hell, now the funny part is where I "slide" down the steps, I hit the stairs at just the right amount of speed and angle I slid down the steps and my jaws are justa clattering along as I go, but I left and didn't return.

After doing some research in regards to the alarm, the building was actually owned by "Pain Enterprises" which specializes in dry ice, they have a location in Central Indianapolis. They have a building that seems to be on the same property as this building, but I don't understand the alarm if the door is wide open, and even after I had set it off, why didn't anybody board the place open? it was weird.

The alarm probably isn't monitored. I've set off quite a few and I've only had police respond one time.


Speaking of alarms...
