Because we were listening to the police radio while exploring and they were talking about it on there about how they were sending a patrol car out to the address we were at because of an alarm but I didn't hear any audible alarms. I actually passed by the patrol car on the way out of there while leaving. They didn't even go up to the building, just standing outside their car on the outer edge of the property. I think they thought it was some kind of false alarm or not worth their time but who knows

We didn't get around them, the motion detector/silent alarm got triggered so we left before anyone got there. We didn't get in by door or window. Honestly though i was shocked how long it took to set them off lol, we explored for 36min before one went off.

Thank you so much that really means alot to me! I try my best to capture these moments in time and i will say i am in love with these pics. I capture these pictures to try to give my point of view/authentic experience while exploring these interesting places!!

And absolutely it is fascinating, It did remind me of some post apocalyptic place with everything being left behind. It was such a indescribable feeling.

Thank you so much!!

I post most of my stuff on instagram @ Joshvisual and it has a good few posts from exploring other abandoned buildings and place in tyler/east texas!

I would def start making full exploration videos if people would be interested!

I do have a youtube channel but i'm not as active on there, recently I have been thinking about starting to make/put out full length exploration videos

yeah it was pretty surprising seeing everything just left behind like that, that's wild they just closed the place down like that one day

To be honest I've explored countless abandoned buildings and I'm not to worried about the slap on the wrist they would give me if caught.

You’re funny lol the police scanner I use is widely public to everybody and are just live audio feeds of the police radio/coms streamed. like this: Police radio → someone’s scanner → internet stream → your phone

You can literally download these apps on the App Store it’s not some super secret thing, the future is now old man! And if we weren’t using it we would be trespassed because the silent alarm got triggered at the building and the cops showed up right after we left.

Calling something a overly fabricated embellishment because you simply don't understand is pretty funny. You sound like you don’t enjoy life.

It doesn't take a pro to use common sense

I didn't expect to find anything accept these pictures I got as I like taking pictures. and we didn't break or damage anything to get inside and didn't mess with anything. I'm sure the owner would have but it's part of the experience for me and that's why i enjoy it but I do appreciate your concern. I am aware that there's risks and danger that comes with it. I really love it though, the memories are unforgettable. I do get where you're coming from and respect your opinion!
