What about that thing called a warrant? Or does probable cause override that? I think a phone-call isn't a reason to bust into someones house. Perhaps get brinks...they'll call you when someone goes into your house, that or when the alarm goes off.
And 10 hours later? Reminds of me of that story of the guy's house who got burgled and the guy was on the phone with the 911 Operator and said never mind, I got it. Apparently he shot the guy in the leg so he couldn't get away. Brinks...we always had cops out there in less than 10 minutes if the alarm went off. (It happened a few times with cat incidents...not cat bunglers.)
Sorry that happened to you...but it does kind of suck about P.Os that they can pretty much do what they please.
