That hidden wire trick everyone uses is causing false alarms

I've been to 3 houses this month where someone tucked the motion sensor wire behind the baseboard, and two of them had the wire pinched by a nail. It's grounding out and setting off the alarm at 3 AM. Has anyone else seen installers do this and then blame the sensor?

Did those false alarms stop after you rerouted the wire free and clear?

Wait, so re-routing actually fixed it for good?
