I kind of hit a similar problem: My parents let me stay at their house while they were on vacation and I was traveling through their city, as long as I locked up and set their alarm when I left.
Me, being unused to how their alarm worked, was unsure if I set it.
I set the alarm, locked the door, hear it beep, waited outside until it stopped beeping, then I thought to myself "was the alarm really on?". I unlocked the door, opened it, setting off the alarm, which I turned off with my code.
Goto 10
This repeated a few times until some larger alarm somewhere else in the house started blaring loudly that could probably be heard across the neighborhood. So I disabled it one more time, and just left it well enough alone since I couldn't get out of the loop without some other way of verifying things.
