<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jmon, post: 642947, member: 19422&quot;]<span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">Jesh, I feel your pain. I was burglarized in 2004 and lost roughly 25K (beyond what insurance paid) almost completely in personal items, most of which cannot be replaced. </font></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">Like you said, to me the worst was the violation that me and my wife felt, followed by the loss of items that truly could not be replaced (family keepsakes). But, like you said, you and your wife are alive and you can, and will, recover!</font></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">Further, I agree that alarms are, to a VERY large degree worthless. As I said in my last post, if someone wants something they will get it. The only reason I maintain my alarm is that I believe it will deter <b>some</b> thieves. When it comes to police response times I personally believe that in most cases a thief could actually steal the whole house (and yes, I mean the physical house too) before the police responded. I don’t really believe that they (the police) do a bad job, just that there are far too many false alarms and other issues – not to mention the fact that the average thief is in and out in less than 10 minutes.</font></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">All that said – I want to reinforce the safe idea. If you do not have one, I would get one. And, when looking for a safe, I would look for one that weighs 700++ lbs. While a small safe may have enough space, it can be carried out. One weighing over 700 lbs is not something that a thief could take unless they had 3-4 friends with them and, if you bolt it through the foundation they would need a wrecker. Is a safe the end all be all? No, nothing is. But, I can say with absolute certainty that it will give more protection than just about anything else you could install in your home.</font></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">Again, I am truly sorry for the losses you and your wife have experienced and I pray that you are able to recover from those losses (both emotional and physical) very quickly. </font></span></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
