Evaluating the Store Burglar Alarm

Tonight, I got a call from the alarm service, telling me that there was a "Broken glass alarm in the front of the store."
For these sorts of things, I tend to arrive on the scene about a half-hour before the police. This is not necessarily a good thing! Tonight I thought, "Why not try to glimpse the future outcome of this alarm using Geomancy?"
So before I left for the store, I did a geomantic reading:
2021 Nov 16 7:50 PM PST
Question: Is there danger at the store?
Choices:
Shield Chart
Assess the Left and Right Witnesses and Judge.
The Chart:

Left and Right Witnesses: Both Carcer.
Judge: Populus
Reading: All is secure-- Or in other words, it's a false alarm.
Outcome:
There was, indeed, no broken glass on arrival! No break in. Whew!
It turned out that there were workmen on the second floor doing renovations, even though it is night. They noticed that, when they hammered on a certain spot on the second floor, the alarm went off below them.
They will be done with the reno's on Friday.
Triplicities:
The 4th triplicity (External Changes; Friends/Assoc/Authorities) W1 Fortuna Major, J Tristitia, W2 Albus;
Building thru difficulty-Sorrow/planting-Wisdom. So possibly difficulties in construction matches the situation pretty well.
The 2nd triplicity (Internal Changes, Events in Play) W1 Via, J Tristitia, W2 Cauda Draconis;
Pathway of change-Sorrow/planting-Endings.
They are renovating upstairs, some sorrow in the process, but it is ending.
That also seems to fit pretty well.
It is tempting to assign Trisititia a possible meaning of 'nailing things' here, but maybe that's a stretch! ;-)
