Two weeks after we left one of the smoke detectors went bananas and wouldn't stop beeping. My father had to pull the "permanently disable" tab to get it to shut off.
This is, of course, the correct failure mode for a smoke detector. If something goes wrong with it you want it to go crazy and beep a lot. Not sit silently doing nothing for 10 years.
