Hi Tim,

Thank you for being so watchful..!

If we keep our landline, I'm wondering if it might be good for us to aquire a touch-tone telephone to make it a bit easier to dial out?

In fact, they have security cameras watching their backside in the alley, and when the police arrived someone from Bistro 33 came out and said that they saw the events that happened last night.
